Our BT package pumped YouView through a Humax DTR-1000 set-top box, which also offers 500GB of built-in storage space for TV recordings, as well as dual-tuners for recording two channels and watching a third at the same time (providing the third is on the same multiplex – the groupings that Freeview content is broadcast in). Has its intriguing interface become easier to navigate over time, and have the service’s few other problems been ironed out?įor the uninitiated, the YouView service combines both on-demand and catch-up content through a constant web connection with standard Freeview HD live programming, rivalling the likes of Sky subscription packages.
Tech Digest’s own Chris Price reviewed the service back in August saying that while YouView did some interesting things with catch-up TV services, it ultimately has “a few big mistakes” making YouView boxes “less intuitive than they should be.” Having lived with the box as part of a BT broadband package for the past few months, it felt like time to revisit YouView. Feel free to add your observations in the comments section below.Īfter a series of delays held back the service many years until a final unveiling towards the end of 2012, YouView has gone on to become one of the fastest-growing TV viewing services in the UK, landing in over 230,000 living rooms by February of this year.
