![]() ![]() You can also get a cheap BT 4K box on Ebay or on the Amazon website The T1000 is the older Youview box that's now been discontinued but still gets software updates. The first batch of regions received their new HD service today, including the East Midlands, West Midlands, London, Yorkshire, East York & Lincs, and the Channel Islands. If you going to buy of the likes of ebay make sure its a Youvew T2000 or a BT G4 box. > TalkTalk - was going to try them for broadband until I was on their website on that infamous day last week and nothing worked - then the next day I found out why.I got my sister a retail Youview box last Christmas from Currys I went for the one with the 1tb that's a little dearer.Īs said Currys and Amazon sell them. Not happy with her tone or her information. You could even hear how frustrated/annoyed she was that I was asking the question when she was trying to close a sale (another contract). Check that the volume on your TV isn’t muted or turned all the way down. > BT (3 years ago completely lost my order when I ordered online even though I had the confirmation email to prove - go figure!) and now the customer service person has annoyed me even more. : Channel Availability YouView Guide, go to Settings, choose TV Signal and Quality, then This is likely to be a problem with the signal reaching your YouView box. > Virgin (completely cocked up everything when I switched away from them 3 years ago) So my list of providers that have upset me in some way or other in recent years: Sounds like it's time to try it and see what happens. So looks like BT Customer service are still spouting the same old BS. The providers of YouView are BT and TalkTalk. In nearly every thread I found a BT person had to step in and say basically what is in the link I posted. YouView combines free-to-air DTT channels and a subscription service for additional channels. There seem to be a number of posts on the BT Community forums where people have been told that cancelling their sub will result in the box becoming effectively a glorified door stop. Other links I found alongside that one seem to suggest you are not alone in getting the "your box is a pile of useless tat if you ever have the temerity to leave the wonderful BT service" line spun at you. ![]() And staff should be very clear with consumers because this approach is bound to persuade the majority to stay with the service from BT when it seems they don't have to. Limited ITV1 content in Scotland and Northern Ireland. UTV unavailable on YouView via catch up/on demand. BT Player only available to BT broadband customers. TalkTalk Player only available to TalkTalk broadband customers. This is the kind of sales approach that leaves a very bad taste in the mouth. Catch up/on demand via YouView on Sony relates only to content made available from the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5. In the UK you don't have to pay for Freeview, and yet you're saying I have to pay?"īasically she said, "I wouldn't call it 'paying' but we have to charge you for it in order for you to use the Youview+ box to get TV on BT". I said "I already own the box.and I only want standard Freeview I don't need any other channels. She said "no you must pay us in order to use the channels". It's very annoying because I asked the lady at BT (who was trying to sell me a new contract for a new house that I'm moving into) if I could use MY BT youview+ box with Freeview and not pay the BT TV subscription. Thanks Chris, That post you linked to looks quite clear.
