Re: Important Information Regarding the Mobile App
Hi all,
Following feedback from the withdrawal of the YouView mobile app, by the end of March, BT will be opening up the remote record functionality within the BT TV app for all* YouView users. This means that users will be able to book recordings remotely to their YouView box using the BT TV app even if they do not have a BT TV subscription.
The BT TV app currently requires users to log-in with a BT TV account to use the remote record feature - from the end of March it will no longer be necessary to sign in to use this feature.
*This is not compatible with 1st generation set top boxes (e.g. Humax T1000) or Sony TVs.
We have updated the main mobile app comms on our support site. These can be found here.
Thanks,
Sarah

Re: Important Information Regarding the Mobile App
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.
Benefits:
Regardless, I thought some might read my findings of the box in comparison with YV (i had a BT Retail box) with interest.
Overall, the box is very comparable to YV. I'm quite critical of user interfaces, and at one point some time ago when we moved to a house that had no digital compatible aerial, but did have a working satellite dish, it was cheaper to try Freesat+ than it was to get a new aerial fitted - but the usability of the box was so poor in comparison to YV that we took it back and got a new aerial fitted.
Benefits:
- 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.
Weird things / Not so good things:
- 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.
But other than that I think it's a worthy comparator. It generally outperforms YV, and despite a couple of silly niggles (no search, the clashing thing, the power up thing), it's really head and shoulders above the BT retail box. If they fixed the shortcomings, it should really be game over.
Important Information Regarding the Mobile App
Hi all,
Starting today YouView will be phasing out support for the YouView mobile app with final support ending on the 31st March 2020. The YouView mobile app will then be removed from the App Store and Google Play.
The BT TV app is available to all BT TV subscribers. It can be used to connect to your set top box to set recordings remotely.
More information regarding this change can be found on our Support Site here: https://support.youview.com/mobile-app/
Thanks,
Sarah
