About this deal

But The communications company launched The World’s First 4K Channel (BT Sport Ultra HD) back in 2015, following which came our four-star review of its debut Ultra HD YouView box. The PVR is highly responsive apart from taking its time to boot up (a real annoyance) and re-tune channels.

Large amorphous areas such as the turf still look like a solid carpet rather than lawn grass, especially when the camera pans. The EPG is a paragon of onscreen guides, so that finding and recording shows is about as easy as it gets. After working fine for a week or so, the system crashed, reverting in an endless loop to the factory reset .There’s lot of advantages of YouView including plenty of catch-up and on-demand services and the clever way that not only are internet channels shown alongside broadcast ones in the electronic program guide (EPG), you can record them, too. Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). That was a real weakness of my old T2100 – it was frustratingly slow and poorly designed (it needed 6 presses across 4 different buttons to bring up the list of recorded shows! The benefit of the YouView system is that internet channels appear in the YouView guide alongside broadcast channels and you can even record them.

To me, that looks like Humax are abandoning YouView in favour of the newer Freeview Play, as pretty much every other STB and TV manufacturer has done.

Otherwise, the new box will support 4K, HDR video quality, WiFi, 1TB of storage (double the PVR capacity of the previous BT TV box), Dolby Atmos audio, a Bluetooth remote, and it will integrate 4 Tuners (i. As far as I know one can also use the box without needing to have a BT Internet subscription so in conjunction with other ISP providers it should work well too. You get 248 channels including 47 premium ones with a decent roster of aerial-delivered non-4K Freeview channels and broadband-delivered BT TV ones. I suspect that if your already on the VIP deal- let it expire by a day and ring them up to get put back on with a new box. BT keeps claiming its at the forefront of broadcast technology so prove it — give us punters the access to your claims.

Our one issue is that there’s currently very little content available on the Ultra HD channel, outside of the Premiership, Champions League, FA Cup, Premiership Rugby and MotoGP there’s not a lot on. With no compatible studio cameras, the half-time bit is done by the commentator up in the stands, which gives the game away that BT has yet to put resources in to the overall presentation. Dedicated BT Player button you can quickly access subscription based BT Player content and On Demand films. The aura app is OK and works for remote recording but it also lets you watch live TV and recordings when on your home network, it also has a basic web interface which I use a lot on my iMac, it's a basic interface but actually works well. Happily, the IPTV stream is outside of your internet service, so watching a broadcast won't affect simultaneous streaming or web browsing elsewhere in the home on a computer.Sadly, BT couldn’t tell us precisely why the WiFi won’t be ready at launch or when the update will be released, but we can speculate. This pre-owned product has been professionally inspected, tested and cleaned by our qualified vendors. Netflix is absent but is coming at an unspecified later date and you can subscribe to Sky Movies, Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports 2, although these are not in HD, let alone UHD, and look diabolical on a 55in screen.
