A. No. The Home Hub is a Broadband modem/router, and it’s the BT Vision+ box that has the required software, decoders, onscreen guide and Internet connection needed to get TV over Broadband. You need a BT Vision box to get BT Vision via a Home Hub. Q. Self-install: If I have the BT Home Hub and a TV close by, can I install the VBox myself and save the setup fee? It sounds like all it needs is connection the VBox to the TV using the SCART cable, to the aerial for Freeview and to the USB port of the Home Hub. Mike Krus Jan 2007 A. At launch, BT only offered an Engineer-installed option, but in 2007, they opened this up to self-install and now supply a self-install kit. Note also that part of the installation process involves setting up a wireless connection been one PC and the Home Hub.
