BT Vision (www.bt.vision.co.uk) is BT's digital TV service, and gives BT broadband customers the chance to watch Freeview channels and on-demand programmes whenever they want.

What is BT Vision?

Every BT Vision customer gets all of the Freeview channels and digital radio stations, and can also watch other programmes or packages as added extras, making it a cheap and convenient way to get started with digital TV.

BT Vision packages

If, for instance, you want to watch Freeview but find that there aren't enough children's programmes on these channels to keep the kids entertained, you can sign up to the BT Vision Kids package, which gives you more than 100 children's TV series to choose from at the click of a button.

If you haven't signed up for this package, you can still choose to watch some of these programmes on demand, but it might work out more expensive over the course of the month.

Luckily, these BT Vision packages are available month by month so, if you find you're not making the most of a particular subscription, you can unsubscribe quickly and easily.

There several BT Vision packages available, including:

• PictureBox Film - Dozens of movies on-demand every month, with new titles added all the time.
• Sport - A selection of classic sporting events, Premier League matches, Moto GP and TNA wrestling.
• Music - The latest music videos, concert footage and music documentaries.
• Kids - Over 100 kids' TV series from channels including CBeebies, Milkshake and Nat Geo Jr.

Can I use BT Vision to watch Freeview TV only?

Yes - unlike many digital TV services, the BT Vision service is set up so you don't have pay for things you're unlikely to watch. If you'd like paid-for programming, music videos or films, you can pick and choose them individually on-demand or sign-up to receive the appropriate viewing pack.

How do I get BT Vision?

To get BT VIsion, you first need to get BT broadband. If you aren't with BT broadband already, you can sign-up online and add BT Vision to your basket during the order process. Visit btvision.bt.com for more information.
