Yes we know that Jonesh! If you reread my paragraph I tested all this & found the answer. (Don't know why I bother making a comment on forum?). Everyone's home set up maybe different taking into consideration equipment (i.e Youview/Freeview) di…

Hi Scott, it NOT a "Daft comment" I used to work in Accounts so Revenue is the key word. You are entitled to your own opinions, so am I! Since I was made redundant in 2011, I see things through a different set of eyes. I don't have money to waste. E…

I wonder if the problem is with the Broadcaster and data sent to pvr? Sometimes I have seen this problem on Freesat when doing a search for alternative time to record, only to find some programmes have a series link icon and some are only single rec…

I wonder what BT are playing at? I too would keep my box. You have already invested a great deal of income (or in Accounting terms: "Revenue") John L

Hi Jonesh, most of the problem with Youview pvr BT2100 that I don't use myself, another member of family uses this & they are not technical when it comes to resetting etc. The box freezes, might even be a hard drive getting slight worn out (like…
-
Yes, Dan Dan, we have noticed this. It's getting very frustrating for one member of the family who uses Youview every day. I spend my life fixing/resetting the pvr when I get asked either with signal problem or it has frozen . . . again! Hopefully a…
-
If only the Youview settings menu had a on/off setting to get rid of message? Yes, I know this doesn't solve main problem, but at least you can see the picture if signal is low but not totally weak. It happens mainly on BBC News HD 107, due to the t…

Just to add ankeet, YES you do indeed need an aerial for it to work! You may get by with a indoor aerial that you can purchase £20+ from shops like Argos, but signal may not be strong/may not get all channels. Rood or even a loft aerial is a better …
-
Ankeet, welcome to Youview. Firstly check your router setup. Youview needs the internet to work alongside aerial. Have you manged to get this set up for your main Home PC for other devices? Hopefully all working ok: i.e. username (provided by Broad…

Good morning Judi. Welcome to Youview Forum. In simple terms, SSID is the name for a Wi-Fi network. SSID "name" is shown on a list that your Router automatically shows on the Wifi list when you are searching for wifi in your home from devices. eg …

Hi zznw4m, How did you get on with Maintenance mode? Hopefully your Youview pvr is now working smoothly again. Have a good Weekend. John L

Good afternoon zznw4m (sounds like a morse code!), welcome to the forum. Have you tried the maintenance reset options? I would suggest trying option 2, followed if not successful by option 1. https://support.youview.com/youview-box/box-and-remote/us…

Hi Roy, just purchased a replacement Panasonic Dvd HDD off recently to replace faulty 12 year old Pioneer Dvd recorder. In mint condition, hardly used. You can still obtain them if you search around. It has AV inputs in RGB etc and yes I use a hdmi …

Roy said: Original posting tweaked slightly. But you know what my point is, and it still stands. Especially among the army of GoT followers who bought a NowTV Entertainment Pass to watch Game of Thrones (@John L, where have you been?), thought…
-
Hi Roy, What is GoT? What Tv channel was this shown on? With regards Discovery, I actually used this on original Youview Oldgen software. You might not have used it, but it was very useful. The only Youview boxes that still have this are the Talk Ta…
-
Thank you Roy, At the end of the day, only the T2000 has Discover & Watch list. Just glad I didn't pay full price (!!) & purchase a retail model from high street, as I nearly swapped our BT2100s & wasted more money. The Youview T2000 is …
-
Roy said: Hi @John L The T4000 is a BT box, and accordingly, it shares the strengths and weaknesses of the other BT boxes, having no Discover and WatchList in the way that these exist on Retail T2000s. Hi Roy, thank you for confirming …
-
Hi Averyisweirld, Welcome to the forum. "Hopefully" they will include Discover (eventually!). We have TWO BT2100's (which cost a fair amount of money to purchase happily working ok with the old software until 2017) that currently are still awaiting …
-
YES, I tend to use Freeview/Freesat most of the time to overcome this problem. Youview is currently not our main tv source (thankfully because this would also annoy me each day!) If only Youview could provide a option to TURN OFF the notice. The Fre…

No problem Merlin007. Glad to help answer your questions. I think when you have been made redundant & don't have money to burn (or waste!) you see another side to life! You should be able to use all the standard catch up players. If you need mor…
-
Hi Merlin007 welcome to Youview Forum. Simple answer: "Yes" old recordings (except subscriptions I believe) & "yes" should work ok going forwards with new recordings! TV is only a "monitor" & doesn't affect Youview box. The best bit is maki…

Thank you Sarah, much appreciated. I thought my Browser might have gone mad! Have a good day. John L
-
Yes vanilla has gone crazy Roy! Not sure what happened, I didn't type any more. It seems as if message is "cached" in the browser. Might be my pc, or Youview's vanilla. Not sure, but I will check my pc when I get a moment. John L

Glad I was able to you. Often the workaround ideas that work and help solve a problem. John L

Just an update, as I checked the link & Ebay item no longer available for some reason: Here's another one just to give you an idea: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ONE-FOR-ALL-SV-9360-Performance-Line-Indoor-TV-Aerial-Currys/122100240843?hash=item1c…

Might be the aerial. Might be worth a try if you could borrow a Freeview indoor aerial or purchase one just to see if you can get any channels. Here is one from one for all , for example: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/One-for-All-SV9420-Design-Amplifie…

Hi Harrysmum1, can you get all the channels from the TV including full HD channels? Have you got a spare aerial fly lead just to check that lead hasn't got a bad connection between aerial & the tv. John L

. . . glad it's the Weekend & the sun is shining. This thread has gone on too long . . . Good luck Bryany0205. John L

redchiz, does it really matter ofcom, ombudsman etc? You use a ombudsman/ofcom to help resolve issues if you have problems that can't be resolved with the original source: retailer/supplier. At the end of the end of the day, as I mentioned earlier, …
