@surwas, is it now working? The tension is mounting . . . . Like watching a TVdrama, waiting to see what happened. John L

Hi @"Claire Twine", Yes & no. Yes you can still use box to watch tv, record programmes, play back recordings, but you will find EPG will not display full details, some of the boxes features. No. Without Broadband, as you mention, you won't be able to update box. You also won't be able to access catchup or go back 7…

Hi @surwas , Welcome to the forum. No, everything seems fine as usual. @surwas what is your problem with your box? What is it doing/or not doing? If box has started playing up or frozen up, have you tried doing a reset? . . . (how do I do this I hear you call out) 8 seconds press power button and see if this solves…

No problem, @lexxie, Hopefully you will be able to sort your problem out. John L

@Lexxie, I think you have just answered your own question on last point made. It could be a faulty drive or simply just a corrupted drive that needs reformating. Why not explore the maintenance options first before spending money out? If you are good with a screwdriver, you can hopefully solve your problem. There is a…

Yes, but in the meantime, it might only take you a short time to check and maybe if a straight forward fault you could be watching your tv tonight. They have probably all gone home for the evening. @ladytrimley, click on the link, follow the very clear instructions. What do you do when your iron doesn't work? Check…

Top of the page under help/support you will find the above link found via typing in the error code. Best thing to do is try and fix problem yourself, than wait ages for an engineer. Appreciate, not…

@ IanT, hopefully by now you have solved your problem? I know if it was me, I would want to be able to watch tv tonight. Have you still got a black screen? Please let forum know how you got on. John L

@IanT, Welcome to the Youview forum. Not sure how technical you are, but have you tried the maintenance mode reset as at top of this webpage under under help/support: Using Maintenance Mode - YouView Support Option 2 is the best choice to try first. Hopefully this will fix your problem depending on how old your box is.…

@kodikid, Linn are one of the finest producers of Turntables (high end equipment) in the UK, actually the World, still made in Scotland since the early 1970s. You won't find them being sold in Argos! Same with Rega, produced in Essex since the 1970/80s, still going strong. Both manufacturers also design and produce…

@Scarlet14, Is this a Youview problem? You mention Sky. Have you thought about contacting Sky? They may be able to assist further. Youview is only received via Aerial (same as Freeview). John L

I think I will get my sinclair spectrum out if I can find it. Just needs a "quick reboot". You can't beat old technology! John L

No @jimb, but everything fine viewing HD streaming. I'm very happy with the picture so far. I mentioned earlier about 4K streaming/BBC information page. Are you viewing streaming on a UHD tv/maybe it is not in 4K, could be HD only? John L

Hi @tkmarch Welcome to the Youview forum. Not had the same problem, but did have the problem with zero signal quality on Com7/8 channels i.e. BBC News HD Ch107 that has now resolved in my case due to upgrading to newer Cinema Amp with shielded HDMI inputs. Which channels are you having problems with? Have you tried…

Must be your tv? Our 2 larger Samsung's are fine. What happens when you adjust your contrast? We only can get HD and not 4k, although one TV is 4k, but not one of the newer models as per BBC website. John L

Still has loads of technical sound problems. Some programmes are better than others. Still loads of incorrect sound level or no sound when next presenters start their shows. Errors in gallery sound mix would be a very good place to start. I would have thought they ran a sound level check before live show? Early days maybe…

Yes, I'm sure most of us know that @kodikid. It's great to have new fresh news channel that does things slightly different format. Nice to have a change from mainstream news. John L

@kodikid, Totally agree. Depends what your views are? John L

@darren, Yes, full weather forecasts by weather presenters + also they play the theme tune & show the Uk map for a minute during the day. John L
-
Well, I have been watching the channel most of the week. I sincerely hope the channel grows from day to day. It looks like it is going to prove a great success. Nice to have a news channel that is not strongly biased for a change. I’m impressed so far. I have watched it on HD (Freesat) and also on SD (Youview) HD is…

@RWCurry1 welcome to the Youview forum. Unfortunately you own an older model that has developed so many problems since Youview have revamped their software back in 2017 onwards. To be honest, you would be better looking for a newer model say from cex online bt2100 or the bt4000 models with 24month warranty for around £40…

Hi @al, The picture I get in HD overall is excellent, but on some studio closeups, the presenter's faces are slightly grainy? The actual overall picture, including bottom of screen rolling banners are all perfect on my Tv, very sharp in focus. In SD, the picture is certainly inferior, same picture quality as Sky news SD. I…
-
Also can be found on Freesat channel 216 (in HD). Yes, first impressions, looks promising, a new fresh news format. Slight technical sound problems: microphones not set at correct levels between guests and the presenter + too much echo around voices, maybe studio acoustics? Plus sometimes camera not focused correctly in…

I think you will find you are wrong there @visionman. Indeed, many users have not found it user-friendly. I myself, worked it out straightway when it was first released to trialists. I use a number of pvrs, so simply think: remote control, either up down left right back ok are the standard main commands, but not…

Good morning @fivish, Welcome to the forum. Assuming the issue is mainly with the Youview box. Have you also tried resetting your Youview box? How do I do this? I hear you ask. First try doing a soft reset. Press the power button for 8 seconds. See if this works. If it doesn't, then go into trying a maintenance mode option…
-
Here, here @roy! Well said. Totally agree. The amount of users who have had to contact the forum in desperation or who haven't as yet! As mentioned in one of my postings I had to explain the new layout to my elderly mother. Luckily for her she can cope, only because I was able to show. She would have been in a right state…

My main question would be what real advantage does the new box give? Yes, it can upscale to 4k, bigger harddrive, maybe brilliant news for VIP BT new customers that are attracted to tones of movies, extra subscription channels (if you have enough time to watch everything) for "only" £65 per month. Be interested to see if…
