- The Guardian , Tuesday, February 5, 2013 3:38 PM
YouView, the BBC-backed internet TV service, is estimated to have up to 230,000 subscribers six months after launch, with TalkTalk revealing that it is seeing demand running at more than 10,000 sign-ups per week. This is despite what is thought to be dismal sales through high street retailers. The joint venture between the BBC, ITV, BT, Channel 4, Channel 5, Arqiva and TalkTalk to bring internet-connected TV to Freeview andFreeSat homes, finally began selling set-top boxes last July, 18 months after the initial plan to launch in early 2011.
