From BT Vision to YouView

I'm told that my BT Vision contract has ended and that if I wanted to drop to a £4 per month tarrif (I was on £12.50 but used precius little of this) I can but it would mean signing up for a further year. Does this sound right?
Seperate to this I've been considering jumping to YouView as all I want from my TV service is the standard TV channels, the possibility of BBC HD, iPlayer & 4OD and I see BT will 'give' you a box if you sign up to the £4 tarrif.
Are there any extra costs involved with switching to YouView on BT? I'm told YouView can access LoveFilm, will it do this with BT or am I tied to their on demand film channel?

  • Changeover from BT Vision+ to Youview

    I have just been offered a new BT Youview box to replace my aging Vision+ Box.   BT tell me I will loose all my recordings when I plug in the new YOUVIEW Box.
    Question.
    Can I set up the NEW YOUVIEW box without connecting to the internet  and use it to record freeview chanels  whilst I leave the old Vision+ box connected to the internet until I have finished watching any recordings.
    Will the new Youview box function just as a PVR until I am ready to change them over ?
    or will my Vision + box stop working as soon as the new box arrives ?
    Solved!

    When I changed over I connected the new Youview box to the homehub, and used a spare Hdmi input on my TV. The BT Vision box still functioned with no internet connection and I watched the existing recordings that way. I set up all new recordings on the new Youview box. When everything was watched on the old box I sent it back to BT. I'm not sure if the youview box will boot up without a network connection, Can you physically connnect both boxes to the Homehub? I know someone who did this and it worked OK. Sorry I can't be more helpful, I can't remember the last time we had a power failure.

  • Noise from BT Vision box

    I have noticed lately that a low noise is coming from my vision box (sounds like it is recording) even though I am not using it and it is on standby. Also I can feel some low heat on top of the set all of the time.
    Is this normal? (I have onlly noticed this since the BT Vision upgrade).  BT were not very helpful.
    I would appreciate any comments.

    This problem has definately not been solved!
    I have also noticed that my BT Vision box has not actually powered down in standby since the BT 'upgrade'.  It continues to whirr and buzz adding a nuisance noise which I find very disturbing, and it uses just as much electricity as when it's fully on (checked with a electricity monitor).  I have to keep switching the whole box off, which means that it renders the recording facility useless, and takes time to reload when switched on again. 
    After several conversations with BT customer help, it turns out that they are mostly clueless as to why it can no longer power down.  We've reset, rebootted and all the rest - no change.  Finally I get through to a techie who is able to tell me that the 'up'-graded software in the box will now keep it working continually in the background, even though it's on 'standby' so as to catch all the wunderbar updates that BT is sending it, and so it will never miss any of these golden streams of new data. 
    Ok, fine, I said, then bye bye BT!  Why would I want to pay for a service that only offers me inconvience, wastes my energy, adds to noise pollution. Added to which, the new EPG display is frankly rubbish and illegible.
    Can anyone recommed a good stand-alone pvr? :-)

  • Why do the results between the OCR in the Vision Assistant and OCR in a VI generated from the vision assistant might defer?

    Hi everybody,
    I had a problem while I was trying to run OCR on my image in my LabVIEW code. The algorithm did not detected what I was expecting on the image.
    I decided to run the test on the vision assistant and it worked perfectly: I got the expected results.#
    I assumed then that my code had different parameters, so I decided to generate a VI from the vision asssistant and run it on LabVIEW for the same image, just to verify.I did not change anything on the VI (all parameters are the same), and I used the same image. Surprinsingly the results are different between the assistant and the VI. That strikes me a lot! I have checked alll possible configurable parameters and they have the same values as in the Vision assistant. Does anybody have an idea about what could be the reason of this behaviour?  Thanks
    Regards,
    Esteban

    Esteban,
    do you use the same images for OCR? Or do you take a new snap shot before running the OCR?
    What steps of debugging did you use in LV?
    Norbert
    CEO: What exactly is stopping us from doing this?
    Expert: Geometry
    Marketing Manager: Just ignore it.

  • Switched from Vision+ to Youview

    Ok new Youview box has arrived but looks nothing like the new one I see on the Webpage think its the old style. Is there a huge difference and is it worth worrying about ?

    The functionality of the two boxes is the same, but the old one is slower - annoyingly so at times.

  • Upgrade from vision to youview,how much?

    Hi, you sure. TT have an actvation fee

  • Choosing between BT Vision and Youview - help?

    Hi everyone, I've got a BT Vision box (black one) and am on PAYG with the old style EPG. I installed a BT Vision box this weekend and it had a lovely new EPG on it. So I have some questions:
    1. can I get the new EPG on my box?
    2. I'm debating moving back into contract. Do I get a new Vision box or Youview?
    The reason I ask is that I saw online recently that Vision is getting the FX channel but Youview isn't. I'd quite like to watch Walking Dead on FX! I'd also like Freeview HD.
    final bit of info, I like the Box Office service on Vision and the ability to rent current movies on the odd occasion without having to visit Blockbuster. Lovefilm is all well and good but the films are not current. I want the same movies as I can get in Blockbuster, albeit maybe a month or so after release (as I get with Vision at the moment)
    Can anyone shed any light on the pros and cons, taking into account my desire for FX and HD?
    I'm an IT Support Geek by day so feel free to get technical if you like  

    This should probably of on YouView board.
    The new software will arrive on your box in due course along with linear channels when they launch assuming you name meet whatever criteria is laid down at the time.
    Personally apart from HD channels - all four of them - I see no reason to rush to a YouView box. As I understand it and I may be wrong you won't be able to record things like the Walking Dead on the YouView box in its present configuration - bear in mind BT only issued the Humax box because PACE weren't ready with their supposedly superior box.
    Finally there is no guarantee that re contracting will get you a new box but there is a fair possibility.
    Whatever there is a choice and that choice has to be personal. I am staying with the BTVision box. In time the two options will merge in to one.
    ps there is quite a lot of HD On Demand

  • Recording to DVD from BT Vision box

  • Hoax phone call, pretending to be from BT vision!

    Today I received a call pretending to be from BT, after which I called them back , only to hear a recorded message that it was from The Postcode Lottery!
    The guy on the phone said that BT needed to see that my vision box was still working and that they had not had a signal from it, he asked me go to BBC I-player and watch a program (for 30 seconds), whilst he waited on the line. Ater this he told me my surname and initial and first line of my address, he asked  me to tell him my first name and postcode. He had already told me the date I started my contract with BT, so I gave him the information he requested as I thought it was official. He did not ask for anyother information and said goodbye.
    I thought the call was a little odd, that is why I checked the number.
    Whilst  I can not see that any scam is involved, maybe I get a whole load of junk mail asking me to join their game, this practise seems a bit underhand and one that BT should be aware of!
    I have already phone India  and told them what happened.
    The number they used to call me on was 08004080817

    Thanks for this, I have asked the Mods to look in to this ...

  • BT vision+ versus youview+

    Over the last two months my vision+ box has gone into standby  on at least 12 occasions twice during recordings. I wonder if I were to buy one of the youview boxes for sale on ebay could I use this in place of the vision box ( which is not a good piece of kit). Would I still be able to get the extra channels and sky sports.

    That was what I hoped would happen with youview, but to start with there was no Sky sports channels.  This has now changed so I might be interested as long as thes channels stay on youview (which is not guaranteed). Which number do I call to find more details.  A not keen on paying a 'start up' fee as I am only persuing this due to the unreliability of the vision + box.

  • How to acquire video from 3s vision IP camera

    I was wondering if someone could tell me how to configure the vision acquisition, so I can acquire video from an IP Camera (3S vision IP Camera)?
    I tried to use an IP camera dapter, but that didn't work. I currently can only acquire video from my webcam.
    Can someone please help me out?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Nando88,
     National Instruments only supports Basler and Axis IP Cameras as part of NI-IMAQdx. There is an IP Camera Adapter which emulates the functionality of a USB webcam. I assume this is the IP Camera Adapter you are referring to in your post. This adpater is not oficially supported by National Instruments and does not work very well for all IP Cameras. This adpater will help you stream video from your camera directly to LabVIEW, like in this example. If you want to acquire separte images you will need to use property nodes to take a screen capture, save that to an image file and then open that file as an IMAQ image. You have to go through all these steps because that IP camera is not supported by the NI-IMAQdx driver.
    I hope this helps.
    Cheers

  • Transferring FROM Zen Vision M to Compu

    Hi there, I have a 30Gb Zen Vision M, I have no problems connecting to thecomputer and finding the player, it will transfer from the computer to the player but will simply NOT transfer from the player to the Computer.

    Can anyone help, I lost all music on the computer, i have it all on the player, but cant back it up.

    Well i did try, but still it was the same.... and now it seems the files have disappeared! i'm so confused! i always thought of Creative products being relati'vely simple (despite a few minor problems with my player when i first purchased it) so i'm shocked that i cannot copy over music files by dragging and dropping. Any other ideas?Scene!Kid
