[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nRNS Number : 4900L BT Group PLC 12 August 2013 \n \n\n \n August 12, 2013\n \nBT SPORT PASSES THE MILLION MARK IN JUST THREE MONTHS\n \nMore than a million households are ready and equipped to enjoy the start of the Barclays Premier League on BT Sport this coming weekend. BT only began to accept orders on May 10, so the million customers for BT Sport have been added in just three months.\n BT Sport is free with BT broadband1 and customers can easily watch the channels online or via their mobile devices using the BT Sport app. They can also enjoy the channels on their TVs if they renew their broadband contracts or are new to BT broadband. \n BT broadband customers who wish to watch the channels on their TV require a set top box. This will be a Sky box if they wish to receive the channels for free over satellite. \n BT TV customers, who receive the channels via their broadband or TV aerial, will require a YouView or BT Vision+ box. The type of box will depend on where a customer lives and what services they request. \n Non-BT broadband customers can also enjoy the BT Sport channels on their TVs, via the digital satellite platform from just £12 a month.
