BT has signed a deal with Philips to supply a set-top-box that combines a personal video recorder (PVR, also known as a digital video recorder or DVR) with a digital terrestrial tuner and the ability to receive programmes transmitted over a broadband Internet connection.

The BT service effectively adds a selection of on-demand "catch up TV" programmes, delivered over a broadband connection, to the functionality of a standard DTT and PVR box. As DS reported in September, the box will use Microsoft's IPTV Edition middleware.
