plusnet youview box
Hi ,as a newbie to this community I have a query which may have been answered but google is doing what it pleases my question is this ; If I move from Plusnet to Vodafone in the new year do my recordings on my Youview plus box remain available for viewing after I transfer ?

As said above, its only subscription channel recordings that are blocked when a user leaves a subscription TV package, due to rights issues beyond their control. All the free players will still work as well, with no restrictions.
Hope this helps you. Let us know how you get on. John L
£41?!!! What a rip off! (That's my own personal view forum - don't subscribe - we keep our DVDs etc). Do you have the time to watch extra content? We have a new tv that is advertising extra streaming etc & certainly are not going to splash out on extra content, unless it really really was worth it. Don't have enough time to watch recordings plus live programmes. My favorite stream is Youtube. Plenty of quality concerts, content (a lot in HD & yes also some in 4K) to watch. All free unless you want advert free content.
You can always still use the Youview pvr as a spare pvr. Don't throw it away! We seem to live in a "throw away" society. We have several pvrs around the home that record to save clashes when recording. Easy to connect extra devices to your tv. Good luck with NowTv. Is that £25 one off fee for the box, followed by £7.99+ a month or £25 a month? Certainly a cheaper option compared to Plusnet. Hope Plusnet are reading the Youview forum!

I think you have told us everything but who your ISP is, and what your subscription costs.
Good though DVDs were, before the advent of Blurays and UHD Blurays, they can’t get you on the internet, enjoying lovely Communities like this one
I use the internet all the time. My conversation was with noelg.
For your info, I don't have a subscription, my ISP is with John Lewis (previously Plusnet). My point was the high price paid. I understand about the "history" of DVD's etc. One day there will be a national museum for them, along with vinyl (vinyls just returned) & CDs. Happy days Roy!

If you post in the Community, you are posting to everybody. If you want to post solely to @noelg, you should PM him.
Except that you shouldn’t, except in special circumstances; the general rule is ‘if it’s posted in the Community, reply in the Community’.
But it depends on what you think is a ‘high price’. For a month of first-run movies, I paid £11.99, the price of one DVD we would probably never watch again, and we have watched four so far, and have two more planned....
We all have different viewpoints agreed? I certainly wouldn't pay £11.99 for a DVD when it first comes out. Simply couldn't afford it plus also know that price will come down within 3-6 months. Other than that will hit the Charity shops within year or two. Amazing what you can pick up without spending a fortune. Again everyone is entitled to his/her own views.
Yes Roy, I am fully aware of posting on forum, as you are also aware. Welcome back Roy!
Wishing you a Happy New year for 2020. I wonder how long Britbox will last? (I think we have come off the thread a little, but never mind).
Noelg, hope you are able to record off your TV/answered your original question. Glad to have given you some ideas/help.

Back on topic my sister in law uses Nowtv and broadband and is very happy with it . As my youview box has the nowtv app installed I was curious if it would record from the app . We have a static caravan in which I was thinking of using my Youview box as a pvr to watch what I have already recorded and what I am about to record prior to our new season starting .
Thank you for your replies gentlemen .
Does your fly fishing community also have the lure of going off topic?
I seem to remember only recently the subject about Youview forum & the loss of members. Roy please read your inbox again from a few weeks/months ago.
Happy New Year to everyone. Let's hope 2020 is a better year health wise & also helping others on the Youview forum. John L
A Happy New Year to you.

Indeed so. The (only) useful bits, for us non-BTTV users, are Live/Full TV Listings, from where we can set future recordings, individual or series, and My TV/Recordings List, for what we have Recorded, and what we have Scheduled,
It’s pretty **** compared with the YouView app we had; no deep linking into the broadcaster’s players for past programmes, just the one generic set of channels instead of the ones on our particular boxes, and no radio channels.
But I suppose that we must be glad for the half a loaf that BT have thrown us 🍞 now YouView have taken our fresh-baked bread away 🥖🥪🥪
Sounds promising, but in what ways, exactly, would that change the operation of the BT app?
