If you're watching 4K/UHD quality then that goes up rather a lot, to 30Mbps. To ensure quality, BT says you'll need at least 5Mbps down speed for HD content that's not aerial sourced. There's those aerial in/out sockets, plus an HDMI port that supports passthrough – which, as we have setup, is really handy for using with a soundbar system setup.

Once the Box Pro is plugged in – using the dedicated power adaptor that comes in the box – there's access to an Ethernet port to ensure the fastest connection, although Wi-Fi does also feature here in case that's impractical for you. The Box Pro itself measures 34cm across, 14cm deep, and a mere 4cm raised from a surface – so it's not really big enough to get in the way of anything if you're forced to position it, say, in front of your TV. However, this won't get you access to channels through Freeview (including UK terrestrial ones), for which BT recommends ensuring you have an aerial connection too (it'll also enable better simultaneous recording potential). All you really need is your broadband connection. (Image credit: Future / Mike Lowe) BT TV: Setup – is it easy?Īs we said up top: with BT TV's Box Pro you don't need a satellite dish.
