Hi all,
Please use this thread to discuss the most recent BT software update 32.45.0 / 3.6.190 for T2xxx & T4000 devices.
This release adds BritBox player to the selection of apps available.
Please note that this is a phased release so not all boxes will receive it at the same.
Thanks,
Sarah

Disney + obviously will be arriving in the "near" future.
@Sarah - Any plans to include this in the universal search and recommendation's on the box as per Netflix/Amazon/NowTV etc, although I am sure there are many non-subscribers that would hate that idea
How about having an options settings with tick boxes to include certain apps in the search results (I bet that is in Keith's list somewhere if I actually checked
)
Why purchase another Youview simply to get Britbox? You must be very, very frustrated with finding out that your latest box still can't get Britbox. How much did you spend? For less money you could purchase a USB stick in the menatime, that has many more up to the minute Apps inc. Britbox, probably more supported with updates etc, & Apps than Youview. I appreciate you probably want it all neat & tidy & all on one platform, but technology can be a gamble.
You can't guarantee what Apps will be removed/added with the Smart Tvs. I know my Tv: Samsung no longer supports all the Apps. I have Apps across various devices. If only it was a perfect world and everything was in the same place. Hopefully Britbox will be on your box very soon. Take care. John L
I wanted to know where else I could watch Britbox, besides YouView, for which the obvious question, I thought, was ‘What devices can I watch Britbox on?’
It does not seem to have occurred to Britbox that this question should appear in its Help & Support 😢
So I looked at ‘Where can I stream Britbox?’, which you might think was pretty equivalent, but gives the answer ‘BritBox is only available to UK residents. You can also watch BritBox if you are temporarily outside the UK but within the EU’. So, different sort of ‘where’ 🤨
The answer is actually under ‘Can I watch on multiple devices?’, which you might think was about simultaneity, but no. Ho hum.
‘Yes, you can access BritBox on the web, your Apple TV, Samsung (2016-2020), Panasonic, LG, Vestel and Netgem Smart TVs, iOS, Android devices, Amazon Fire TV and YouView Retail boxes’.
So they haven’t got the memo about YouView BT boxes; and as regards Amazon and Roku streaming devices (HDMI, not USB, as I was reminded recently on the Sony Community) Amazon Fire TV devices maybe, but no Roku/NowTV ones.
So unless you want to use Chromecast, not many devices you can use to see Britbox on your TV.
Looks like YouView is ahead of the curve for once here! 😎
The other big media players are simply not interested.
Sky, that's a satellite operation that also runs now tv, that's a streaming service. Then there is a outfit commonly referred to as Virgin media.
Also a little tech company called roku.
They capture around a quarter of the home viewing audience.
Of course never say never but considering Virgin was keen to drop the UK tv (gold etc) channels ,Britbox can't be high on their wishlist.
You cannot force the update, it will reach you in its own sweet time.
Or equally, would have updated at the same point in time as when you did the MM2, if you had asked only for a software update at that moment instead.
An outside possibility is that your box had a bad case of software constipation, and the MM2 was your Ex-Lax.
Please can anyone confirm that DTRT2110 boxes will get the update for britbox app?
Have been looking around but that model doesn't seem to get mentioned
Many thanks
There’s nothing rolling out to the BT Retail boxes at present.
You could ask Britbox, or ask on the BT TV Community, see if anybody knows, and can say.
You will need both criteria satisfied to be sure, though 😛
I will keep looking around for info, 👍
My BT Youview retail box still don't have the update but I find it always seem to update a few weeks after the box I got from BT updated.
I would rather have the Disney + app so I can give that a try.
So I don’t think it necessarily hits St James at the same time as it hits Far Cotton...
