MUMBAI: BT has signed an agreement with Sony Pictures Television for video-on-demand rights to a range of new and classic movie titles for its digital TV service, BT Vision.

BT Vision customers can now have access to on demand, newly released movies from Sony Pictures including Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, starring Christian Bale, the follow-up to The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, starring Tom Hanks and the thriller, The International, starring Clive Owen.
