Unfortunately, no. It will not work at all without having a BT Total Broadband account.

no, they are evil. they goofed up my direct debit and I couldn't even access the programmes I'd recorded. I'd love to get shot of BT!

There was a post on their site a year or so ago that said they were changing it so that a broadband account isn't required but that has never materialised.

same question for sky + - if you are out of contract I know you can just get a "freeview" card for about 10 pounds. But does the Sky plus function still work if you stop paying a subscription to Sky?

Nope, the Sky+ features won't work.

Can you *ahem* 'jailbreak' a Vision or Sky+ box?

You can pay to keep the Sky+ box as a recorder if you don't subscribe to Sky TV, but to be honest, its not much cheaper than a basic Sky package anyway.

The Vision box, you can at least take the hard drive out and use it in your PC...200GB if I remember correctly 🙂
