![]() ![]() TalkTalk and Arquiva sit alongside BT as major telecoms YouView backers. In early October, it was rumoured that Netflix was in talks with multiple YouView backers, not just BT. YouView originally launched in 2012, and a lack of Netflix cited as one of its key issues. Rumours that Netflix will come to YouView have circulated for months – and it has been anticipated for years.

"We continue to focus on strengthening our TV proposition and are excited to announce we have entered into a partnership with Netflix that will allow our customers to sign up for Netflix alongside our other products and services, with the added convenience of paying on one bill directly through BT," read the statement. Non-BT-branded YouView boxes are available for under £200, making them fairly attractive for those looking to try the free-to-use YouView service without a contract.īT's announcement does not shed any light on the matter.

BT currently offers YouView boxes as part of all of its TV Entertainment packages, and you'll soon be able to add the £5.99-a-month Netflix service to its list of skills.
