Difference between BT Vision and BT YouView

I am totally confused.com 
I am lokking at ditching Sky after 14 years. My only real option is BT as Virgin do not have fibers in my street.
Looking at the BT website I cannot work out the difference, other than channel allocation, between BT Vision and BT Youview. But it appears that they are two different boxes. A quick chat with BT Live Chat revealed they dont know either.
Is there anywhere for the love of God a simple piece of information that tells me in a side by side comparison what the differences are. It would be graet to talk to a BT person who knew the answer but I fear if I have to que for half an hour then get somebody who refers me to a website I would not survive the day.
Anybody got any info,? You could sell a write up to BT to use

You probably will have seen this page
http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/products/tv/youview-and-vision-compared
When reading remember  -- that phrases such as "best of"  could be replaced with "a selection of"    and "Coming soon"   can mean "in the months or years ahead"
First the box is different and the firmware/software is different - BT is a partner in Youview so there are other interested parties that have a say on what facilities are developed and what services are run on the system. BT is in sole control as to what happens with their Vision box and its firmware/software development.  As such they can introduce some new services such as their Extra channels over an Infinity multicast network earlier on the Vision box  than on their Youview player. 
Youview tends to have more catchup as the content is provided by the channel providers direct rather than the selection provided to BT.
With Youview you can subscribe to other player subscribers (currently only NowTV).
Which is the better box - personal preference - Humax over the BT badged vision box
Surround sound is available on the Humax
Some users have experienced problems with the reliability of the BT Vision + box firmware - Bear in mind that there are  several versions of the BT vision box that have been released over the years so whether the latest boxes that new subscribers would get are more reliable with their new fimrware is unclear. 
Also bear in mind the quality and range of services you might get will depend upon your freeview reception/aerial , your broadband speed and it seems whether you have a direct cable connection from your Infinity Home Hub to your box.
Finally you might want to read
http://www.techradar.com/news/television/bt:-youview-not-ready-enough-to-stop-us-selling-bt-vision-b...
"Some time in the middle of next year we believe that YouView will be able to deliver what we need to multicast channels via our Infinity network and at that point all new customers will be getting a YouView box," said Barry.
Appologies I probably have added to confused.com

  • What is difference between sy-tabix and sy-index.

    SAP Seniors,
    Can you please let me know what is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix.
    I read the SAP help, it is confusing for me. it looks like both are same from help. please help me.
    Thank you
    Anitha.

    HI,
        Here is a brief description of difference between SY_TABIX and SY_INDEX and using them with several conditions.
    SY-TABIX
    Current line of an internal table. SY-TABIX is set by the statements below, but only for index tables. The field is either not set or is set to 0 for hashed tables.
    APPEND sets SY-TABIX to the index of the last line of the table, that is, it contains the overall number of entries in the table.
    COLLECT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the existing or inserted line in the table. If the table has the type HASHED TABLE, SY-TABIX is set to 0.
    LOOP AT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the current line at the beginning of each loop lass. At the end of the loop, SY-TABIX is reset to the value that it had before entering the loop. It is set to 0 if the table has the type HASHED TABLE.
    READ TABLE sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line read. If you use a binary search, and the system does not find a line, SY-TABIX contains the total number of lines, or one more than the total number of lines. SY-INDEX is undefined if a linear search fails to return an entry.
    SEARCH <itab> FOR sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line in which the search string is found.
    SY-INDEX
    In a DO or WHILE loop, SY-INDEX contains the number of loop passes including the current pass.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you,
    Pavan.

  • What is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix and where both are using ?

    what is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix and where both are using ?

    hi nagaraju
    sy-tabix is in Internal table, current line index. So it can only be used while looping at the internal table.
    sy-index is in Loops, number of current pass. This you can use in other loop statements also (like do-enddo loop, while-endwhile)
    SY-INDEX is a counter for following loops: do...enddo, while..endwhile
    SY-TABIX is a counter for LOOP...ENDLOOP, READ TABLE...
    Here is an example from which you can understand the difference between sy-tabix and sy-index.
    Itab is an internal table with the following data in it.
    id Name
    198 XYZ
    475 ABC
    545 PQR.
    loop at itab where id > 300.
    write :/ itab-id, itab-name , sy-tabix, sy-index.
    endloop.
    My output will be :
    475 ABC 2 1
    545 PQR 3 2
    Sy-tabix is the index of the record in internal table.
    sy-index gives the no of times of loop passes.
    So, for the first record in the output (475 ABC), 2 is the index of the record in internal table and as it is first time loop pass occured, sy-index value is 1.

  • The difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers

    Does anyone know what is the difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers? I can not find anywhere on Google. Also in the tutorials I have seen, suggesting DVD Studio Pro markers, but it did not mention the chapter markers.
    Thanks,

    "Adding Chapter and Compression Markers to Your Sequence
    Once you have your edited sequence or program finished, you can add markers to the sequence for use on DVD. Markers are reference points you can place within clips or sequences that identify specific frames. There are two kinds of markers you can add that directly relate to authoring a DVD—chapter markers and compression markers.
    • Chapter markers allow DVD authoring applications to create a navigable chapter list for your exported QuickTime movie. Chapter markers force MPEG keyframes (known as I-frames) at their location, since the DVD specification requires an I-frame at each chapter point.
    • Compression markers identify areas of abrupt change and include two types: those that are automatically inserted by Final Cut Pro at all edit points, and those you manually place in the clip or sequence. Like chapter markers, compression markers force I-frames at their location, although in this case it is for better quality encoding, and they are not used to create a chapter list.
    Note: When you export a QuickTime movie, you have an option to export various kinds of markers, including compression, chapter, or DVD Studio Pro markers. *When you choose to export DVD Studio Pro markers, Final Cut Pro actually exports chapter markers and all compression markers.* This includes compression markers you set manually, as well as ones created automatically by Final Cut Pro at edit and transition points."
    From the Final Cut Pro User Manual.

  • The difference between an iphone and an ipod touch?

    i want to know if the difference between an iphone and an ipod touch is just that the iphone is like a phone that has internet and is a phone. or what else is it?

    The iPhone includes the same as an iPod Touch but also includes a phone, a camera, and a GPS radio.
    In addition to having internet access via wi-fi, the iPhone also has internet access via the cellular network, so as long as you have cellular reception with the iPhone, you have access to the internet in addition to having access via an available wi-fi network.

  • The difference between system restore and last good known configuration

    hi,
    what is the difference between system restore  and last good known configuration.
    in which situation you use system restore ,and in which situation you use last good known configuration.
    very short answer wil be enough.
    thanks
    johan
    h.david

    Last Known Good Configuration deals only with Starting Windows eg. a bad registry or incorrect driver is preventing Windows to start.It recovers the registry settings of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet
    While System Restore uses restore points to return your system files and settings to an earlier point in time without affecting personal files. Restore points are created automatically every week, and just before significant system events, such as the installation
    of a program or device driver. You can also create a restore point manually.You can undone system restore but there is no such option in Last Known Good Configuration.
    Last Known Good Configuration is disabled in Windows 8 or,Windows 8.1 by default.
    Try using Last Known Good Configuration if you can't start Windows, but it started correctly the last time you turned on the computer.
    Try using System Restore to return the system to an earlier point in time when things worked correctly.

  • Difference between sy-uline and uline

    Hi All,
    Any one of you please update me what is the difference between sy-uline and uline. Also when i give sy-uline in top-of-page event it gives error.
    Thanks
    sankar

    with ULINE u can specify the position from where the ULINE should start
    corresponds to WRITE AT 3(10) SY-ULINE.
    ULINE AT 3(10) NO-GAP will supress the spacess after the under line
    ex :  1
    uline at 4(10).
    write : / 'My Program'.
    uline at 4(10).

    difference between sy-datum and sy-datlo

    hi,
    The GET TIME statement synchronizes the time on the application server with the time on the database server and writes it to the field SY-UZEIT. SY-DATUM and the system fields for the local timezone (SY-TIMLO, SY-DATLO, and SY-ZONLO) are also reset. 
    SY-DATLO
    User’s local date, for example 19981129, 19990628, …

  • What is the difference between Topic Keywords and Index File Keywords?

    What is the difference between Topic Keywords and Index File Keywords? Any advantages to using one over the other? Do they appear differently in the generated index?
    RH9.0.2.271
    I'm using Webhelp

    Hi there
    When you create a RoboHelp project you end up with many different ancillary files that are used to store different bits of information. Many of these files bear the name you assigned to the project at the time you created it. The index file has the project name and it ends with a .HHK file extension. (HHK meaning HTML Help Keywords)
    Generally, unless you change RoboHelp's settings, you add keywords to this file and associate topics to the keywords via the Index pod. At the time you compile a CHM or generate other types of output, the file is consulted and the index is built.
    As I said earlier, the default is to add keywords to the Index file until you configure RoboHelp to add the keywords to the topics themselves. Once you change this, any keyword added will become a META tag in the topic code. If your keyword is BOFFO, the META tag would look like this:
    <meta name="MS-HKWD" content="BOFFO" />
    When the help is compiled or generated, the Index (.HHK) file is consulted as normal, but any topics containing keywords added in this manner are also added to the Index you end up with. From the appearance perspective, the end user woudn't know the difference or be able to tell. Heck, if all you ever did was interact with the Index pod, you, as an author wouldn't know either. Well, other than the fact that the icons appear differently.
    Operationally, keywords added to the topics themselves may hold an advantage in that if you were to import these topics into other projects, the Index keywords would already be present.
    Hopefully this helps... Rick

  • Whats is difference between Java JRE  and  Java SDK

    Hi,
    what is the difference between Java JRE and Java SDK...
    i think both of them have the same set of files to be installed...
    I am not able to understand where they differ

    The JRE (Java runtime Environment) contains just the stuff necessary to run Java and the SDK (System Development Kit) contains the extra stuff necessary (and also helpful) to develop in Java.

  • Disk Utilty - what is difference between single volume and single partition

    In Disk Utility I can, should I wish, format a drive by using Erase to create a single volume. Also in Disk Utility, I have the option to use Partition to create one (or more) partition.
    What is the difference between a volume and a single partition?
    What are their relative merits?
    In what circumstances would I want to create a single partition instead of a volume?
    Disk Utility also prompts me to name the volume or partition. From experience, what would you suggest as a suitable name and where is this information subsequently used?

    A "volume" or "partition" are the same thing. The subject of using partitions has been covered many times on the forums. Do some searching and you'll find quite a lot of information. Also try doing some Google searching.

    Hi Paluri
    Here is the difference between SAP locks and Database locks, i will try to find the solution to your code.
    Regards
    Ashish
    Database Locks: The database system automatically sets database locks when it receives change statements (INSERT, UPDATE, MODIFY, DELETE) from a program. Database locks are physical locks on the database entries affected by these statements. You can only set a lock for an existing database entry, since the lock mechanism uses a lock flag in the entry. These flags are automatically deleted in each database commit. This means that database locks can never be set for longer than a single database LUW; in other words, a single dialog step in an R/3 application program.
    Physical locks in the database system are therefore insufficient for the requirements of an R/3 transaction. Locks in the R/3 System must remain set for the duration of a whole SAP LUW, that is, over several dialog steps. They must also be capable of being handled by different work processes and even different application servers. Consequently, each lock must apply on all servers in that R/3 System.
    SAP Locks:
    To complement the SAP LUW concept, in which bundled database changes are made in a single database LUW, the R/3 System also contains a lock mechanism, fully independent of database locks, that allows you to set a lock that spans several dialog steps. These locks are known as SAP locks.
    The SAP lock concept is based on lock objects. Lock objects allow you to set an SAP lock for an entire application object. An application object consists of one or more entries in a database table, or entries from more than one database table that are linked using foreign key relationships.
    Before you can set an SAP lock in an ABAP program, you must first create a lock object in the ABAP Dictionary.
