BT VISION LAUNCHES HD FILMS

BT Vision has entered an agreement with NBC Universal International Television Distribution for a broad selection of feature films to appear on BT Vision’s new Hi-Def on demand movie service in the UK, it was announced today.

A range of HD film titles from NBC Universal are slated for release on BT Vision, including current blockbusters The Incredible Hulk, Wanted and Charlie Wilson’s War, alongside classic library titles such as E.T. – The Extra Terrestrial, Shaun Of The Dead and Miami Vice.

From today, BT Vision’s HD service is delivered through the existing V-box, and does not require an additional monthly subscription.

Dan Marks, CEO of BT Vision said: “The inclusion of HD films now makes BT Vision an even more compelling service, immediately delivering the benefits of high definition content but without the high cost of additional monthly subscription fees or an expensive new set top box.”

Current BT Vision HD films will be competitively priced at £4.95 each, with library titles costing just £2.95. Customers simply select an HD film and it automatically downloads to the V-box. Customers are only charged once the film has completely downloaded and viewing has started, and all NBC Universal titles can be watched repeatedly during a 48 hour rental period.
