BT Vision charges for BBC content

The BBC reports that BT has started to charge users of its television service who want to watch on-demand BBC content.

"BT Vision users could previously view programs like EastEnders for nothing, but must now sign up to the £3-a-month ($4.70) TV Replay subscription to see them.

BT said that, while the same content was available on PCs, it could be seen in "top quality" through its service.

The BBC said it was happy the shows were being provided through BT's "lowest possible subscription tier". The on-demand programs available through BT Vision can also be found online through the BBC's iPlayer. "
