How do you put the Pro box into internet mode.

I don’t believe that it is possible at the moment. There are rumours about it coming soon. Any channels from above 300 will be picked up as long as you have a network cable or Wi-Fi connected assuming you have a subscription

This discussion indicates that the announcement might be quite soon (message 8 )

Until BT make a proper announcement or go for a soft launch we will not know their intentions.

The link in the OP is incorrect. It should be : https://www.bt.com/help/tv/guide/ip-freeview-guide

Will this Freeview IP be made available on older BT boxes too? Will Free channels be made available on YouView TVs (such as Sony)?

@TheRealBudski I still can’t see how to these channels I have big sport sub. All the channels are still on the original numbers, tried a retune and no difference.

Looks like it’s just the BT TV box pro for now.

I have the G4 or DTR T4000 which was the previous 4K box

Re: Ip Freeview

My guess is that we will need a software update to enable it. They normally come down automatically

Great news that we’re getting a step closer with this.

It’s good to see BBC Sounds will get an EPG number. I was wondering why a service had been testing with a static background and ‘press red’ burned into the stream.

I wonder if this means the possibility of the BBC serving up the full Sounds experience alongside their MHEG overlaid Freeview radio services - allow users to choose secondary stations and podcasts for the channel number they’ve selected.

Looking forward to seeing how they price and promote it alongside their Now/Sport/Asian packages. It’d be great if this was introduced as an entry option, meaning you wouldn’t need to have another subscription to use BT TV. It’d give them a really strong loss leader to upsell addons to customers who already have a box.

I don't understand why this link (https://www.bt.com/help/tv/guide/ip-freeview-guide) claims to be updated on 2nd August 2022, but refers to obsolete channels like Sky One?

Re: Ip Freeview

It doesn’t, it only refers to Sky Arts HD and Sky News HD?

You might need to hard refresh the page in your browser.

Interesting...I can see the updated list on my computer, but even after clearing the cache on my iPhone, I still get an old list showing Fox HD, Sky One etc

Re: Ip Freeview

DarrenK98 — Sun, 21 Aug 2022 12:10:21 GMT

I noticed this too, the page shows an outdated list of channels on mobile but the new updated list on desktop/laptop.

Interesting. So I double checked and I see the updated list on an iPadOS tablet but the old one on an iOS iPhone, both in Safari.

Weird. New list on a PC using edge.
