Does anyone on here have BT as their televison signal supplier?

My Mother has BT for TV and is convinced she needs a new aerial for her TV. Am I confuddled in thinking that the BT television signal is sent through existing telephonic wires to a box by her TV?

I have Sky, so of-course she thinks I know nuffing about telephonic or electrickery things.

Yes, she has BT for her landline, and that is what I thought. However she is convinced that she needs an aerial. She has a lot of trouble understanding what is said to her, and even more trouble accepting that I might know what I am talking about.

Fortunately television expert she has asked to sort it, is someone recommended by one of her neighbours. She is still paying about £100 for him to reconnect an aerial. I am taking the attitude that if she is adamant that is what she needs, then it is up to her how she spends her money.

Here's the quote from the BT website about BT television

TV Channels
All our TV packages use BT Broadband to deliver programmes to your TV. You’ll need Fibre Broadband to get some of our TV packages, and we’ll check whether it’s available in your area when you make your selection.

As you say, it's your mum's money...

She is absolutely determined to do this. Thank you for your clarification that I am not the one who has misunderstood how it works. She has a habit of telling me that I know nothing and do not understand.

@Fab Foodie - If you fall asleep on a plane, and wake up just prior to landing, do you have to try and remember which country you will be landing in?
