    So let me get this straight, BT want £6.99 a month and then 99p an episode.

    All of a sudden, my access to all the stuff on demand on virgin for free is starting to look good value for money

    At £6.99 a month I was interested in partnering this up when BT turn on Infinity in my area, then I saw the 99p an episode and thought sod that.

    I'd rather wait a while and buy the complete Seasons on Ebay.

    I think that might be worded incorrectly. I think its 99p per episode if you don't subscrive to the TV pack. For TV pack subscribers I would imagine it would be free.

    Although I could be wrong.

    Straight from the horse's mouth as it were...

    "BT Vision customers will be able to enjoy ABC TV On Demand as part of BT Vision’s TV Pack for £6.99 per month. Individual episodes will be priced at 99p and customers will see new programmes added every month."

    damn straight lee, there is so much available on vm's on-demand that it'd be hard to watch it all. £6.99 for stuff from one provider = not so good value. what happens when they want to add another?

    looking at vision as a whole, it doesn't seem to stack against the competition, looking on bt's ste the top pack tv/phone/bb is £50 + line rental - can't see anyhting to state that it's includes so for the sake of round numbers it's £65, then if you want sports aswell it's another £12 just for sports 1&2. with vm it's currently £46 + rental for the xl pack & v+hd box. the sports pric eis about £10 cheaper with vision - but for £27 you get all sky sprts & sky movies on vm. so if i've priced it right, for the price of visions top jobbie, you can get vm+the hd box & sports/movies - think i'm gonna have to try and sweet talk a new deal with that price
