BT has began rolling out an 'internet mode' similar to Sky Glass, where customers can get Freeview channels over the internet.
What I found interesting, was the fact that most of the channels are in HD, certainly a far higher number than on Freeview normally and certainly makes up for the recent removal of BBC News HD.
Will be interesting to see how viable an option this is and how popular it will be going forward.
One cannot run both modes side-by-side at this stage so you either have to go all in with internet mode, or continue on the current OTA infrastructure.
It also seems to be the case that regional news appears on BBC1 HD which is certainly a welcome addition.
There's also a new mini box that utilises the new internet mode: www.bt.com
