BT offers TV Everywhere service

UK telecoms giant BT has launched its own TV Everywhere service and has begun offering buy-to-keep movies on multiple devices, in addition to its set-top box.

The TV Everywhere service will be a free add-on to the firm’s Extra box service and will allow customers to watch a selection of general entertainment, kids’ and BT Sport channels on a range of devices, including Apple and Android smartphones and tablets, laptops and PCs.

Meanwhile, movies bought on a BT TV YouView or Vision+ set-top box will be made available automatically for customers to watch on smartphones, tablets or PCs at no extra cost.
