The Original BT Vision+ box was replaced in December 09 with a unit in black. The unit is installed by you and there is no need to have an engineer fit it to your TV setup.
The box is connected via an ethernet cable to a BT Broadband enabled hub and is then paired with your home hub and activated by BT before you are able to use BT Vision.
The unit gets digital TV signals over-the-air, so needs a TV aerial. A connection to an aerial input socket is required to the V-Box. There is an output RF aerial socket to allow you to connect to a TV. SCART and HDMI leads can also be used. An additional SCART socket is available to connect to a video or DVD recorder.
The energy efficient second-generation boxes will have the same basic functions, providing access to up to 40 Freeview TV channels and 30 radio channels as well as on-demand access to films, TV shows, music videos and sport. They will also enable users to record around 80 hours of content. The new black Vision box does not have a modulated output so consider an AV Sender if you want to connect to a TV in a second room.
