Second tv box

this maybe the wrong board but here goes.

If decided to take a second box subscription do bt supply the box and is there a cost for that besides the monthly subscription.

Thanks

I believe they supply a mini-box so you can watch live and on-demand content but you won't be able to watch recordings from the main box or record on the mini-box.

There’s currently a charge of £10pm for it. However, there has been speculation recently that when it rebrands to EE TV the second box will be at no extra charge, and may come in the form of an EE branded Apple TV box.

From what I read, it could be app based but I may have read that wrong...

I think that is more likely, I can’t see BT/EE supplying free 3rd party hardware like an Apple TV, plus an app to access recordings was the rumour back just before the Pro Box launched.

I'm not going to comment on the other stuff, but I will just say that recordings are still limited to just the box they're recorded on, and that won't change any time soon (if ever).
