(Quote) Hi David25, Very sorry that you have lost your recordings. I know this might sound like a silly question, but did you by any chance use the factory reset within box setting menu, either before or after software update? This would re…

Brilliant function, an vast improvement over the previous design. Well done Youview development team! This will make operation a lot easier. Thank you. John L

(Quote) A BIG Thank you Sarah & to the Youview team. This is one of the main features that 2 of our BT 2100 boxes have been awaiting for nearly 3 years from when NextGen was released onto our pvrs. I look forward to the revamp for the darkene…

Hi kodokid, It's very tempting when you see the icon on your tv menu. Some of the new tv's have Britbox already on their range of Apps. Not sure when Youview are going to release it. One of our new tv's has the Britbox app showing on row of apps, I …

Hi chasibee, welcome to the forum. Are you sure that the powerline adaptors are operating correctly 1st before you go further with your Youview box. Best advice is to try & test another device with the powerline adaptor: anything that uses broad…

(Quote) Just make sure you watch the content on iPlayer quickly before they transfer it onto Britbox! The clocks ticking . . . I have got so much to watch from recordings on various pvrs inc Youview + "the old fashioned vintage"…

Hi bigfootisblurry, Welcome to the forum. Just a quick question. Do you by any chance use Freesat? Might be interference from this or something else near your tv. I know that on one of our tv setup, Freesat when booting up lowers BBC107 signal, but…

Hi Poppasmurf, do you work for the BBC? (Only joking) + welcome to the Youview forum. My Mother has a free license & she certainly can't afford to "quaff in wine" poppasmurf! If only she could!! Not all pensioners are that well off. I…

Hi Daniel, I think it is a “wonderful service” if that is what you wish as an everyday TV user. If like me, you have a large library of recordings you are very happy with your vast archive kept over the years from …

yes Jcko . . . type in your error code in search bar at the top of this page. If by magic all will hopefully be resolved very soon. John L

(Quote) Very frustrating. I would now contact either Sony customer services or the shop where you purchased your new TV. Not only do you have a warranty, but also the sales of goods act, that lasts up to 6 years for the consumer. Hope I ha…

(Quote) The current Sony TV problem . . . Have you ticked all boxes when you set up your TV? It seems to be happening all over UK.https://community.youview.com/youview/discussion/comment/19002379/#Comment_19002379 Hopeful…

(Quote) Hi Jane, hopefully BT will help you. Contract/subscription is all the same thing. You are paying a monthly bill with BT for your package, which includes subscription channels, inc. broadband and your Youview box. Retail means purcha…

Jamie glad BT could help you. If you have a contract with them, then they are you first point of call. You pay enough for the service, so the support should be there. The Youview forum is a mixture of users from all backgrounds, either retail or sub…

(Quote) I can only point you in direction for Youview help. If you follow the maintenance mode instructions you won't lose recordings. Top of the screen on the webpage, type in search bar for maintenance mode. Simply follow the detailed ins…

Hi Mooream, Welcome to the Youview forum. I don't think the problem is with your Youview box, unless you are referring to the Youview Accessibility setting? If you have used this, I would have thought simply pressing zoom button again will reset bac…

Blu-ray player, dvd player, another pvr: Freeview or Freesat pvr. Anything that connects to power line adaptor including the TV itself, if TV has internet. I have about 5 devices connected to one of my TV setups. By testing you can eliminate the pro…

Hi JanieJ, Welcome to the form. Basic checks: Check all cable connections, make sure Powerline adaptors working correctly? Or if Youview box connected directly to Router, restart router. Often overlooked. The Powerline adaptors (if used) sometimes …

Hi Martin9, sadly you can't as far as I know. That's the problem with Youview, it has it's good points, but it's also geared up for subscription channels, even if you don't want the pay channels. A lot of the Youview boxes are supplied bt BT/TalkTa…

Hi stoptap, welcome to the Youview forum. Without sounding rude in any way, read the instructions is the best advice (!). That's how I learnt to set mine up. It's a simple procedure, but it's getting the setup right/you learn from practice, sometime…

Hi Billybart, Welcome to the forum. You don't mention make and model of new TV. Youview is connected via HDMI to TV's hdmi socket. The scart connection really is for outputting to say a DVD recorder. You can use scart but not best method. Hdmi is re…

Hi Kingdom, Welcome to the forum. Youtube is a very popular channel to watch. I too use it all the time, especially music concerts. Amazing what you can find on Youtube. I can agree with what you say about Youview not having this app, but I think y…

Hi oliverhague, How are you getting on with your problem? Have you managed to trace the fault. Have a good weekend. John L

(Quote) Hi Oliverhague, If you plug the aerial feed directly to the Tv's own built in tuner, what signal readings do you get? I would also try a unplug/replug & retune of tv channels also. What Roy was mentioning about little box was an…

Good morning bigfootisblurry, Welcome to forum. Don't waste your money with Sky (my personal view only). Just needs a bit of patience & everything will get resolved. Have you lived at the property for a while: i.e. did freeview work ok before Yo…

Hi John_in_CM, welcome to the forum. Rather an old Youview pvr, be warned, it maybe underpowered & may jam with software updates received! Well first you need to do a full maintenance reset, which is not within the boxes' internal software. How…

Hi Roy, yes correct. John L

Hi Powellj3, Never mind worth a try. The reason I suggested solution: You mentioned about losing all your recording over Christmas, you were worried about resetting box, hence why I saw priority being to sort the box out first. App not so important…

Hi simon2409, welcome to forum. Well, hopefully your T2000 isn't faulty. I would unplug & leave unplugged for say 30 minutes, then try again with hard reset for 8 seconds first/press power button on & then if no luck, try again with Mainten…

Hi powellj3, Welcome to the forum. Don't panic! You don't need to lose your recordings if you carefully reset your box. All explained from this link: https://support.youview.com/youview-box/box-and-remote/using-maintenance-mode/ . . . option 2 is t…
