Can someone please tell me the last by you view/ set top box update was please? Bt would not tell me despite asking multiple times. All I am able to find is that my set top box searched for an update yesterday. Thank you very much

It searches every day.
We have asked YouView to replace this useless information with the date that the box was actually last updated, but as usual, this eminently reasonable and easily doable request has fallen on deaf ears; just one of the reasons I despair of YouView.
You don’t say which box you have, though I presume it is a BT one. And nor, even if we knew this, could we say what your last update date was; only the day that update started rolling out, and whether the update has been fully rolled out yet, or not.
We have asked YouView to present the details on this page in reverse chronological sequence, but as usual, this eminently reasonable and easily doable request has fallen on deaf ears; just another of the reasons I despair of YouView.
So work down the list until you find it, and then open the link to find the required date.
My signal to my box stopped working yesterday morning when it says it searched for an update. The box is working in the sense that the remote and box are syncing I can go through the menus etc all fine. Just imagine someone suddenly cut your aerial wire and no signal got to the box. The tv is fine and the aerial and the aerial to the tv (can watch free view without box or remote). Have unplugged replugged and tried everything. It won’t let me reset as it comes up with an error code. It says to maintanance reset... which does work/display with the arrows!
Tech were of no no help at all just told me to buy a new one. Helpful!
If you run the aerial cable into the YouView box as normal, and then use a M-F aerial cable from the RF Out of the YouView box to your TV, can you watch Freeview on the TV OK, or is that ‘No Signal’ also?
When the box asks you to do a Maintenance Mode reset, can you try an Option 2 Reset?
Are you sure it was the check for updates that borked the box, and not that this worked OK, and the box was borked later?
‘For those who like that sort of thing, that is the sort of thing they like’
It worked fine, turned the tv off for bed and in the morning it wouldn’t show a picture and that’s when it searched for an update, so I haven’t been sure!
I can get picture without the box so the aerial is all okay and the error code is yvm751

But you can work these out by looking up your update details on the box, and then looking at this page:-
https://support.youview.com/YouView-box/software-updates#
to find that update.

Not a bad page, this one.

Sorry to hear of your issues.
What is the error code you get?
What model of box do you have?

its a humax DTR-T2110
thank you for any help
See the explanation for your error code here https://support.youview.com/youview-box/error-messages/fix-for-yvm751
That will then lead you to this https://support.youview.com/youview-box/box-and-remote/using-maintenance-mode
Hope that helps.
Take action as per @robotman’s post above, initially trying Option 2 on the Maintenance Mode, which will preserve your recordings if this is possible.
But if the issue persists, you may have to try Option 5, which wipes everything.
If still no go, then it will be, I am afraid, time for a new box
