Cancel BT TV

With the recent price increase that BT are doing, I am thinking of cancelling my TV subscription I have with them as I rarely watch TV and most of the channels I do watch, are on freeview.

The only issue is that I would like the ability to record shows. Would I be able to use the BT YouView+ box or would I need a separate youview/freeview box? I imagine the BT one has their software loaded to it that can't be removed to be used without BT TV.

Alternatively, as I have Samsung Smart TV, can I use that with an external HDD attached to record shows to?

That's great. Saves me the trouble (and money) of buying a new box.

I'll check. Had a read through the 'Has Anyone Got BT TV?' thread also and saw one person saying they use the box out of contract.

Another question. As I get my TV and broadband in one package, can I use the price increase to just cancel the TV or do I have to cancel it all?
