Hi all,

Well I jumped ship immediately to the Freeview Manhattan TR-3. Whilst it doesn't have an app either, it's suggested there will be one at some point this year. We'll see. 

• It's fast. Much faster than the BT retail box we had (which in turn felt much faster than the previous Humax box it replaced). This is probably the single biggest benefit over YV - and it makes for a much more pleasant user experience. 

• In some places the user interface is very similar to YV, in others not so much. But nowhere have I ever felt frustrated or lost, and where something is done differently to YV, it's been quick and painless to learn.

• The remote has a direct access button to your recordings. Why this wasn't on the YV remote for me was a huge oversight. 

• It has built in wifi. 

• It is 4K capable - although that's limited to BBC iPlayer, and YouTube right now (i doubt we'll get over the air 4k anytime soon anyway) - but it's good news that it's compatible with BBC's HLG encoding for UHD content. Should be great for the European Championships later this summer. Obviously this isn't recordable.

• Powering the box on doesn't turn the tv on too. I emailed Manhattan about this and they replied the same day to say it was in the next software revision in April.

• You don't get any indication a recording is starting, neither on the front of the box or on screen. This is slightly annoying, it's always good to know a recording is coming up.

• Booking clashes aren't handled quite so smartly. I can't quite work out what's going on but there's sometimes a case where there'll be a clash but you don't necessarily get the pop up alert. 

• No embedded apps other than catchup services (BBC, ITV, C4, C5) and youtube. Not an issue for me as I never used Netflix etc on my YV box anyway, as I have a 4K Apple TV unit for that.

• You can't search the EPG - this is actually huge, but I think a solution is coming in an update. 

Hi all,

Please use this thread to discuss the most recent BT software update 32.35.0 / 3.6.128 for T2100, T2200 & T4000 devices.

This release contains the Jump to Time feature and the ability to now delete your search history. This includes a fix for the scheduled recordings not appearing in the Scheduled Recordings section of MyTV. 

Thanks,
Sarah

The embarassment-reducing but otherwise utilitarian Search thing was me, but I must fess up that Jump To Time I suggested/implemented a more bland version, but this quick-fire one that came out on top I only did the animations, the concept and work was done by two of my very capable (and long-suffering) colleagues, who should be lauded instead. But we were all operating under a new initiative for fast-tracking small features (that started with with the search action in the info panel).

Hi all,

Viewers with Humax Retail T2000 boxes now have access to the TV Shows & Films tabs on the YouView Main Menu to browse these categories in their dedicated areas. 



This feature should now be available for all T2000 devices, there is no phased roll-out.

For more information on this new feature, check out our release notes here. 

Thanks,
Sarah

Hi all, 

Please feel to discuss and provide feedback about the TalkTalk Software Update 60.48.72 / 3.6.82 & 72.48.72 / 3.6.82 here. 

This update contains the following features: 

• Search in Action Panel
• Start again for BBC programmes
• 'Last Watched' tab added to Watch List
• Full HDD (Hard Disk Drive) notification - YVM217
• MyTV in Main Menu for DN360T devices

As with all our updates, this is a phased roll out so if you don't see it right away, don't worry, it'll update soon as long as it's connected to the internet. 

Thanks,
Sarah

Hi, 

Please feel to discuss and provide feedback about the TalkTalk Software Update 60.48.54 / 3.6.36 & 72.48.54 / 3.6.36 here. 

This update is for TalkTalk DN360T and DN372T devices and includes the addition of the Amazon Prime Video player. 



This update will supersede the previous TalkTalk update. This is a phased update so not all boxes will receive this update at the same time. 

Thanks,
