There’s a certain colour preference here but we find the pale greenish-blue theme very easy on the eye. The bread and butter of making a PVR rewarding to use comes from providing an intuitive and attractive Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) and YouView certainly delivers that. Since you can buy a humax manufactured bt retail box for around £125 great value for money and youviews commitment to not leaving a box behind shows great support for old boxes.Initial set up of the DTR-1010 takes a little investment in time but once services are tuned and your location and network status are confirmed, you’ll be up and running. Though I should record more so I can skip ads which you can't do on demand. The recording feature works grand, though rarely use this as the demand services are so convenient.
But more often I notice programs on a little later (when they're repeated) also is available to watch. Eg searching for peppa pig for my daughter will show all episodes on netflix, my5, bt kids and the Scottish episodes on the iplayer.īecause of how the content is put together I felt that despite losing channels when moving from sky to youview I had more choice as I used the back catalog on the demand services much more than I had in the past. The search feature will look for content across all the platforms. Its just so convenient having all apps on one place. (sky q probably better now but not tried that) Moved from sky back then and find new box much more modern than their sky + box. I've loved the boxes since I first got one.
Humax youview reviews free#
Then went onto bt in September do they gave me a free ultra HD box. My Hitachi will be fine until next year, it is a bit on the slow side, but it was reliable. I only realised today that she is still on ADSL.
I am trying to get around what she really wants, from what I can see she wants a normal PVR, with HD so she can record stuff, not bothered about anything flash, but it seems everything is flash these days, with more and more stuff added. We was having another chat today about it as I installed my old hitachi in place of her old Humax as it is certainly playing up, I think it could be the hard drive, it is an old 9200, which i think is slightly above the model I had, mine was a single tuner.Īnyway we also had a look at the HDR-1800T, which is a fair bit cheaper, which I think is more or less just a very updated version of what she have got, but again she do not like the look of it, she loves the look of my old hitachi, just a small black box.
Humax youview reviews upgrade#
It confirms everything bar Sony smart TV's currently is going to get the upgrade at some point.Ĭheers for that, not sure about the cloudy thing in it to be honest, I know the content will still be stored on the box, but if it relies on internet connection what happens if the internet goes down? Some better information available on the new Youview UI HERE. Now if the digital stream was still being produced, I would highly recommend that mine is still going well, ok it was stuck in the box for a couple of years or so, but it can record three channels or two channels and watch another, depending on the Mux and as far as i remember have never failed to record. It is a difficult choice to make for her, we will have to have a chat over coffee in town i think.
Humax youview reviews tv#
i did say to her about getting something cheap as all she wants is to record stuff when she is out and maybe to get HD channels on her TV as it only have an Sd tuner, like mine.īut she likes Humax, so it must be a Humax and to be honest, i did look around and it seems like the cheap ones are not around now, like Bush and Alba. She will not worry about playing back videos from any storage, so not supporting MKV is not going to be a problem. I agree with njp, it is not possible to tel what the UI is like from the video Sceptic linked to, but it did take me to a list of other Videos that did. it is a lot of money to pay out for something and then get it home to find it you do not like it. If i was going for a new PVR, i would go for Freeview play, mainly because it is still supported by digital UK and is not linked to any ISP, yes I know you can also be stand alone, but it is more for Talk Talk and Bt to sell their service.īut this is not for me, I have looked at reviews and You Tube videos on both systems, and they do not look that different to be honest, I just wish that stores did demos of them, but they don't, well not here anyway.
