@Darren Do not dismiss TalkTalk out of hand, they are as bad as the worst/last reviewer says they are, same as the rest. I have been with them for years, service has been great, they offer good value overall and are promoting NOW TV offers at the p…
-
Because you used to need a separate box, but most TVs come with it built in now?
-
Just to add to the list of possibilities, Humax still sell YouView boxes on their own website. Although "refurbished" these do come with the benefit of their own warranty. Like you, despite all the advances elsewhere and criticisms of YouView, I wou…

Yes, which is what we know now. But tells us little about any future plans
-
Oh stop pretending you know what you're talking about!
-
So getting NOW TV is much cheaper than going directly with Sky? With no more than a month commitment? I agree. You should see the offers TalkTalk are making.

😂
-
@Roy To be fair the BBC usually indicate how long programmes will be available on iPlayer. As for ripping streams, blimey, where have you been?
-
Not quite all @Visionman, see re. TalkTalk earlier. Although they have withdrawn issuing PVRs at present.
-
Honestly I doubt it is that complicated, if you got a new box and then leave within 4 weeks then it is just taking the p if you expect to keep it. TalkTalk regularly confirm to their customers that they can keep their stuff as do their T&Cs. B…
-
And they have subsequently changed their T&Cs to make clear that the box is never yours. Of course that cannot be backdated, but I had a raging argument with them on behalf of my parents whose arrangement predated that. They have always sailed c…

I don't think it's unreasonable to ask someone who has just got a box and then ships out a few weeks later to send it back. I am sure there are other T&Cs covering that sort of thing e.g. minimum term etc. but I can't be arsed checking. The fact…
-
I was under the impression that TalkTalk equipment is yours to keep, although what @Stevef_fr8ys says makes perfect sense also.
-
I guess that is for BT NOW TV subscribers only?
-
Good luck with Sky, if you can afford the subscription prices and suffer the long-term contracts then it is a decent proposition.

I once saw a shop called Currys. Imagine my surprise when I found that they didn't.

@Roy isn't the only real variable the software that those different makers produce, given that all large-screen OLED displays are manufactured by LG?
-
After all these years I have still never quite understood how the vagaries of YouView allow certain apps on certain boxes, but not on others. I am resigned to the idea of few, if any, further advances, especially in respect of "retail" boxes which e…

Like some people on here I could mention ....
-
Ah, John Lewis, I am old enough to remember them too.
-
I remember when Sony TVs were good. But I am quite old.
-
Ah that one magical device, the Nirvana box/stick ....
-
Ah, missed that @Roy, sorry, how could I have with a topic title about BT and Sony? 😉
-
Numerous replacement boxes exhibiting the same behaviour?
-
I wonder if we might have a comment from the YouView team, @Sarah could you oblige, please?
-
@Stevef_fr8ys I am bit confused by your reasoning: on the one hand you agree that it is unlikely to be a box issue; on the other you suggest TalkTalk are best placed to fix it? How will a "tweak" in setup help?
-
Great "musings" from @Roy as always. I agree that ITV should take some ownership of this issue. But TalkTalk? Surely this issue has long afflitced boxes of every origin?
-
Agreed.

Ha, not sure, had started a celebratory drink by then! :D
