BT is accepting registration for the new YouView TV service, which will be available from the company from 26 October. Customers pre-registering now can order a YouView box with BT Vision the week before launch. BT customers must pre-register by 18 October. The YouView box (GBP 6.95 delivery) from BT is included for new customers signing a 12-month subscription to BT Vision Essential or BT Vision Unlimited and either BT Infinity or BT Broadband. They will have to pay a GBP 49 activation fee, and a GBP 39 charge for a home visit by an engineer to install the box. Existing BT Vision customers can get a YouView box for the same price - GBP 49 for the box (GBP 6.95 delivery but no activation charge) - by renewing their BT Vision and their BT Infinity or BT Broadband contract. The box being offered by BT is the Humax DTR-T1000 YouView, worth GBP 299 from retailers.
