The BT TV App is a streaming service that allows you to watch BT TV channels on your computer, tablet or smartphone. It's especially handy if you're not in front of the TV or can't agree on something to watch.
If you've got a tablet or smartphone, you can watch live TV through the app and watch your favourite On Demand shows too. If you want to watch on your computer, we have an online player you can load in your internet browser.
