BT TV offers buy-to-keep films on multiple devices

BT TV is to offer buy-to-keep films on multiple devices in addition to the set-top-box, the company has announced.

Films purchased on a BT TV YouView or Vision+ set top box will also be available for customers to watch on smartphones, tablets or PCs at no extra cost.

Customers will be able to access films on up to four different Apple or Android devices or online and either watch instantly or download to watch later.

BT has also launched its TV Everywhere service, allowing customers to watch their TV channels on multiple devices.

Offered free with BT TV’s extra box service, customers can watch a selection of extra TV channels, including general entertainment, kids and BT Sport channels, on a range of devices including Apple and Android smartphones and tablets as well as laptops and PCs.

Using the new BT TV app for smartphones and tablets, customers can also record programmes from their TV guide on all of the TV channels on their YouView+ set-top box while they are out of the home.

“BT TV was the first TV platform to offer buy-to-keep movies,” said Alex Green, director of BT TV.

“Now we’re the first to offer these movies digitally on multiple devices. We believe customers will increasingly choose digital ownership given its freedom and flexibility and the ability to create your own personal movie library.”
