Anyone use this ?

Been mobile EE since the Orange days and need TNT sport for BSB….

Currently use Sky and they want £30/month extra which is to much.

Is the service/UI any good ?

Currently use zen for web but would have to drop that for EE, but as both use same backend should be as reliable no ?

I've had it since it was called BT Vision, UI has improved over the years. Occasionally i get the odd "Failure to Record" or instead of recording an entire race it's only recorded 15 minutes with no explanation why.
I don't think there's an option to pad recording times with an extra bit of time for those occasions when a race is red flagged and over runs, not sure if that's still a thing on sky either - i still have PTSD from the number of times tennis or some rubbish over ran and eurosport didn't update the recording times to suit.
Picture quality on HD channels is excellent.
Takes probably 30 seconds longer than a sky box to boot up.

If you watch premier sports, it doesn't exist on the EE box as far as i'm aware.

Tbh, I dislike Sky , I don’t like the Q and I only really want any of this for BSB , which sky want £30/M for as they’re bundled it in with footy.

We’ve had Zen for 3 years and I know EE use the same circuits - just how it’s as reliable is my only real worry .

I like the idea of being able to chop and change channels on your sub as well.

I had sky for years since they started, always used to be something on to watch, different movies every night, discovery channel showed proper interesting docs, mtv had actual music on it. Then the enstification and dumbing down crept in while the prices kept going up.
I occasionally look through the listings for the sky channels and there is nothing of interest.

EE is part of BT
BT have very close links to Open Reach
amongst our friends who are on a mix of BT or EE billing with either BT Smart Hub 2 or EE Smart Pro hub some have had issues
You dont have to go through the rigmorole of ringing BT who then have to contact Open Reach and it drags out
It is much more of a almost one shop experience Unlike say being connected via Sky or Talk Talk
If you get the EE TV box pro its really quite good and prompt around the menus

I'm thinking of picking up EE TV, does the monthly price for the package you get for entertainment, sport or whatever include the box price, and is the package price the same whether you pick one of the EE boxes, Apple TV or Sky Stream box? I'd be going for the EE Box Pro with the TV recording.
