BBC catch-up goes pay on BT Vision

BBC video on demand content has been put behind a pay wall on BT Vision.

Catch-up programming has so far been available to users of the DTT-DSL hybrid at no additional cost.

However, customers have been informed that it will now be available only as part of the £3-a-month TV Replay Pack, which also includes Channel 4 on demand content.

"Although customers have been able to view them for free so far, due to technical issues, BT Vision has never highlighted this benefit in its marketing materials," BT said.

"Customers are, of course, able to watch BBC shows for free on their laptop or PC in lesser quality on the BBC iPlayer, in the usual way."
