Sky stream have just added all the great channels aswell.  Why is it so hard for bt to do this ??

With Sky adding the Great! Channels I hope these get added to BT soon after

I struggle with this.

On the one hand I sort of wish BT would take the IPTV platform more seriously and add more channels to keep pace with the likes of Sky, but I know it takes two to tango.

On the other, I’m not really bothered because for us, if we even watch anything on a traditional Freeview channel, it tends to be BBC 1 and 2, itv1, Channel 4 and 5 HD only and I am lucky enough to have a working aerial and satellite dish.

To be honest, my preference would be BT spend their time getting the kit and OS right, such as enabling voice control (“skip 4 minutes” is all I need!) and adding key apps like Disney+, before worrying about extra channels most people can already get in some way shape or form.

They should definitely worry about more channels as this is the primary function of the set top box.

Agreed, BT or EE (due to the merger) need to get their finger out, otherwise it is a dead duck!

[Deano123]

Yes i agree .  We expect like for like after all its not as though bttv is much or if any cheaper. 

More apps more channels 

I am really interested in seeing if the great channels on sky will be in HD .  I am pretty confident they will be.

They should be, channels on Stream and Glass are only available in HD.

The majority are HD but there are still quite a few channels in sd .  Legend horror extra some of the 4 channels ect ect

Really? Blimey! I must have missed that change.

When launched they made a big song and dance about all channels being in HD only, used to be a common discussion theme in the Sky forums.

Ive had it since day 1 and not everything has been hd . The majority are as i say. Its still very good for hd though
