BT Vision's added HD to its VOD

by Richard Lawler, posted Sep 18th 2008 at 12:38AM

Hopefully our UK brethren have been enjoying the recent addition on high definition downloads to the BTVision IPTV service. 1080i, 5.1 surround sound packing licks are now available on your V-box for £2.95 or £4.95, conveniently marked with an "HD" tag to note the ihgher quality, and a warning that unlike their low-res counterparts, these need to download in full before the user can watch and begin their 24 hour rental period. The Other Boleyn Girl, The Hulk and Babe are among the leadoff hitters, so check it out (these 8GB~ downloads also rather conveniently don't count towards any kind of bandwidth quota, imagine that?) and let us know how it measures up to the rest.
