You will not be able to sign up to BT TV as it only works on a BT Broadband. If you buy a retail Youview box you will have access to Freeview channels, catch up services and paid for online offerings such as Netflix, but not the extra channels that BT or Talk Talk offer.
There's a pretty good summary here: http://www.youview.com/whats-on/

The Youview NowTV player only allows (or at least, only used to allow) access to Sky Movies. I don't use NowTV so I can't say whether the Entertainment and Sports packs now work.
A retail NowTV box will be fine though.

As I said, Plusnet and BT Retail are not the same company, they just have the same owner.

Both BT Retail and Talk Talk have chosen to offer TV services to their customers using the box as a receiver. By doing so they are attempting to attract customers to their broadband services and so only make the service available if you take their broadband.
Plusnet, along with most other broadband providers, do not (currently) offer a TV service. BSkyB and Virgin Media do offer TV of course, but via their own closed systems,

I'd agree that it presents a confusing message
