BT TV updates user interface

UK telco BT is updating its TV user interface with a new look that it says will also make it easier and faster for viewers to find the programmes they want to watch.

The redesigned interface will be rolled out to YouView box customers in July and to customers with a BT Vision+ box in the autumn.

According to the telco, the update will improve the BT TV Player on YouView and the user interface on the previous BT Vision service.

BT says it has responded to customer feedback and research to help shape the simpler new look. New features include more intuitive navigation, quicker links to recent activity on the homepage and a new colour palate, according to the company

“Our update is more than just a makeover. It will improve the performance of BT TV for customers, making navigation easier and faster.  This follows our move from the BT Vision brand to simply using the BT master brand to cover our TV services,” said Alex Green, director of BT TV.
