This is according to the chief executives of BT, EE, TalkTalk, Telefonica (owners of O2), Three, and Vodafone, who recently released an open letter discussing the possible situation and highlighting the ‘risk’ to consumers in Scotland should they become a fully-independent nation. The answer is essentially one that ‘Yes’ campaigners will not want to hear, in that services will become more expensive. There are many questions that continue to be asked about Scotland regarding their potential secession from the United Kingdom, plenty of them without a definitive answer, and almost all turning hypothetical if the result is a ‘No’ on 18 September, but the major telecommunications companies of the region have banded together to try and explain what their reaction will be in the instance of Scottish independence.

The BBC’s release, especially considering the part-funding and that many of the new red button features have been seen on Virgin Media TiVo boxes since ‘late 2012′ (barely months after YouView launched) amongst other smart TV providers since, will be seen as more of a relief than a benefit amongst some users, but now that stage is complete, will the BBC be able to support their own interests and develop on YouView in time with third parties? The iPlayer red button updates, meanwhile, see users able to take advantage of a revised 30-day catchup window, exclusive iPlayer programming, and greater content curation abilities than ever before.
#Bt youview now tv update
Naturally needing to offer their improvements for the platform considering they are a participating party in the free-to-air smart TV venture, the BBC have put on the newest version of their ‘connected red button services’, alongside an updated edition of the BBC iPlayer, though both of which have arrived comparatively late when compared with other platforms.Ĭurrently limited only to users of BT and Humax-based set-top boxes (with TalkTalk boxes to receive the update “in due course”), YouView customers are now set to be able to access an array of Sport and News apps via their remote’s red button alongside online on-demand streaming coverage of sporting and musical events. And in an effort to keep up, they have introduced new features from the BBC. The YouView set-top box collective brand is now an established part of the media market within the UK, and competing to grow with new features just like their growing number of competitors. Will YouView be able to make up for lost time by drawing a crowd through their latest addition? Having waited over 2 years since YouView’s launch in 2012 to arrive on the service, Netflix fills a gap which consumers frequently pointed out, with users of Huawei and TalkTalk set-top boxes set to be unable to make that complaint as of early 2015. Netflix’s ‘head of business development’ Bill Holmes added: “We’re very excited to bring the Netflix app to YouView boxes and hope to make it even easier for Netflix members with YouView to watch Netflix on their television sets.”
We are really excited about Netflix and giving YouView audiences even more choice.”
YouView CEO Richard Halton summarised: “Netflix is a brilliant addition to our already impressive line-up of TV programming.
For a little extra still, users can pay £8.99/month for Ultra HD (4K) streaming with support on up to four screens at once. This comes at either £5.99/month for single-screen standard-definition streaming, or on the £6.99/month HD two screen option. Now available on the boxes provided by BT and Humax under the brand, YouView have agreed a deal with Netflix that sees users able to access the popular platform through their set-top box, with the ability for non-users to add in Netflix to their existing ‘TV Entertainment’ package deal by paying an additional monthly fee. Adding to the list of services it is offered under in the UK, Netflix has been revealed as the latest video streaming service to arrive on the collaborative set-top box brand YouView.
