Be afraid, be very afraid, Transposition is catching on, and the BBC iPlayer, unless we all rise up and say No!, is going to look something like this, taken from the iPlayer on YouView, though it seems to be the same on all our TVs:-

Incredibly, it is not only worse than the standard iPlayer screen, it is actually worse than, the YouView transpose, as, unlike YouView or even the standard iPlayer, you don’t see any screen changes as you click (you can’t scroll!) down the list of channels, unless you actually click on one of the channel entries again.

And I thought YouView icons were small, but these you can’t even see properly on our bedroom TV. 80% of the screen, utterly wasted.

I expect the BBC are doing this so as not to slow down moving down the list by showing channel-specific screens as you go. Though the standard presentation manages this just fine….

There are other detail issues wrong with it, but I am fundamentally opposed to the change, and I have beseeched the BBC to abandon it as completely wrong-headed.

Don't buy the pro box for apps. 
I too find myself using the Roku far more then the youview Pro box.
No exaggeration Roku has twice the amount of apps as the pro. 
And not just fillers but quality stuff like Disney and YouTube. 
It's horses for courses. 

I’m the same with my Amazon Fire stick HD 2020 version. Now use that more than I do both my Youview boxes. It’s just faster for apps and has far more apps too chose from. Even better since I upgraded the remove too the new Bluetooth one.
I do still use the Youview box to record and at times for watching tv channels.

Hi,
This forum is for YouView set top boxes and YouView enabled TV's (Sony), and from your post, it seems you are having issues watching catchup via your phone, unless i am missing something?

You would be best if this is the case, to post on a forum dedicated to your phone, or C5 catchup.

Barring the obvious answer of rebooting your phone and Router, it is known for catchup apps showing adverts to have issues, as adverts are drawn in from a different server to that providing the programme.

Someone here may have other ideas as we have a varied base of contributors but as said this forum is dedicated to YouView issues.

Yesterday the box ceased to record or play back existing recordings. Recording look OK but on pressing play there is a black screen. Software is up to date. Tried reboot of Internet and TV box. Each reboot allows one watch then it fails again until rebooted again. Box has 36% capacity.

No. I think I'll take another break from here. I cannot believe the levels of hostility and unpleasantness.  😟

Sadly some things never change around here

I remember when I first got a youview box...bloody nightmare linking the remote to the tv.
In all fairness that was probably my fault but this one you literally don't have to do anything as it works straight out of the box.

If you have never had a Bluetooth remote before it's a revelation, isn't it?  🙂

Apologies to @Vici by the way, this is what happens when you put the members in charge of the community.  🤪

I don't like how the Youview mini guide still shows the SD version of a channel and not the HD version.
This is something that I have said in the past and nothing has changed.

Neither. Your only arguing with yourself. As for me I only asked a couple of questions. Which I did. Nothing more, nothing less.

Dearie me, after all these years you still haven't grasped the community guidelines? I posted a point of view. You are simply naysaying it. I haven't reported you yet, but I remain on standby.

... I find them very zippy indeed.

  How many do you have? 

I've independently tested in the region of 150 of the units

Wow. And you finally found one that worked? 🤣
