The BT Infinity high-speed broadband network now passes more than 13 million premises and now has more than a million retail customers, representing 16% of its retail customer base. The 60,000 YouView boxes currently represent less than 8% of its BT Vision customer base, which in turn accounts for less than 12% of BT Broadband homes. The installed base for BT Vision has been growing steadily over the last three years at an average of around 9,000 net additions a month, although over the three quarters that has dropped to 7,000 a month. It seems the availability of YouView has done little to improve the adoption rate for BT Vision. Youview has not released any numbers for retail sales.īT appears to include YouView boxes within its BT Vision numbers. TalkTalk announced in mid-November that it had 29,000 YouView customers, growing at a rate of around 1,000 a day, so it may have a similar number of YouView boxes installed. Ian Livingstone, the chief executive of BT told analysts there had been an encouraging increase in take-up of YouView in the last few weeks as a result but did not offer any further figures. Nevertheless, BT clearly hopes that its plans for sports coverage will make a difference.īT only began actively marketing YouView in January, although there was a multimillion-pound campaign to promote the platform. Although it is still early days for YouView, it has some way to go to make any real impression on the television market in the United Kingdom. Meanwhile it added 21,000 BT Vision customers in the last quarter, taking its total to 770,000. BT had only 60,000 customers with a YouView box at the end of 2012.
