BT TV provides two channel list options for its customers. Users of newer BT Pro and Mini TV boxes can choose between aerial and internet mode.
Older BT TV boxes continue to include a hybrid of Freeview channels (through an aerial) and internet delivered pay channels.
Click/touch the headers to expand.
Aerial Mode
In Aerial Mode, the total number of channels available is dependant on your local Freeview coverage and the condition of your TV aerial.
You’ll still need a functioning internet connection to receive channels between 300 and 599.
Channels that come through your TV aerial (channels 1-299, 601+)
