    Just to give a general overview of the two (three?) boxes -
    FVP 4000Ts and the upcoming 5000T are heavily laden feature rich boxes such as -

    3 Tuners
    Manual tune 
    Manual Timer 
    Series Folders 
    WiFi - 802.11n Wi-Fi
    DLNA Server/Client 
    Multiroom support (additonal kit required)
    2 USB ports 
    Scart socket (4000T only)
    Series record
    Pause live TV
    Auto Delete
    Archive to USB - (when it works properly)
    No Scart connection on 5000T
    RF Loop thru'
    Netflix
    Youtube
    Search IP and guide for programmes. 
    Now and Next TV Guide
    Option of recordings Grid or Lists (with many preferring its Grid layout)

    Whereas much of the above was never YouViews goal. Simplicity, accessibility and speed and ease of use were always at the forefront of its development and still are. 

    Because it makes sense.
    I've spoken to a few testers (what we call trialists) who already have the box and they all said the list view could be better implemented as the channel idents are too big and so they all preferred the grid view. Ironic, eh? 
    I'm now happy with the disagree icon, because its gone.

    It'd be interesting to see how quick the box is, my youview box is painfully slow since Nextgen arrived along with all the other issues I have. This Humax box only has to do a couple of things well and I'm outta here.

    Nice.
