BT TV box: what models are available and set up
This article discusses the BT TV box: what the BT TV box is, available models, the TV box Pro, and the cost of a new BT TV box. It also answers many BT TV customers' questions about BT TV, including how to download apps on the BT TV box and more. Let's dive in.

What is the BT TV box for?
The BT TV box provides access to content that not even your preferred streaming services can offer, such as BT Sport, and the ability to record your favourite shows to watch whenever you want. It also features an electronic programme guide (EPG) called YouView that makes navigation simple (in 4K resolution with Dolby Atmos, no less).
With BT TV, you can watch free-to-air channels over your aerial, paid channels, and on-demand video over your broadband connection. For BT TV, there is a required line speed. BT will disclose the broadband speed to you during order placement. Which BT TV bundles you can get will be impacted by this.
