EE TV uses the YouView platform, so offers Freeview channels via DTT along with YouView's additional on-demand content, as well as 30 extra entertainment channels (18 of which are available in HD), 9 extra children's channels, 11 movie channels (Sky Cinema), 5 live sports channels (TNT Sports & Sky Sports) and other on-demand services delivered through IPTV. TNT Sports channels are available in SD and HD through IPTV signals. TNT Sports and AMC from BT are available in non-fibre areas over IPTV using copper multicast where available. As EE TV transmits channels and content through IPTV, BT requires customers to sign up to the BT Broadband internet and phone service to use EE TV, with connection via BT's official router, BT Home Hub.

BT started rebranding its TV services – BT Vision and its YouView service as BT TV between May and August 2013. On 11 April 2014, BT announced that the original Vision service would be closed down as of 30 June, with all customers getting a free upgrade to its modern YouView service. The Vision service was, after August 2013, solely used to broadcast Sky Sports, as well as BT Sport for non-Infinity customers. Sky Sports 1 & 2 were made available to YouView customers on Tuesday 16 December 2014 following an interim ruling from the Appeal Court backing Ofcom's ruling that YouView is to be included in the "Wholesale Must Offer" of the channels.

In October 2023, it was announced that the service would be renamed to EE TV by December, adapting EE's logo and name.
