BT has finally got around to putting down a launch date for it's mega-delayed, super-anticipated BT Vision IPTV service.

We saw a demo of it over a year ago - and it was pretty darn good back then. Let's hope BT's only added more features since then and not hobbled it to death.

BT Vision will go live next Monday, December 4. That said, it will be lacking some key components at launch, including ‘catch-up’ TV which allows punters to retrieve episodes of some of their favourite TV shows from the past week.

There have been delays on the BBC-end getting clearance for the service. Ironically, rival service NTL offers the BBC ‘catch-up’ facility.

More, as ever, at Active Home.
