You’ll also need an internet connection and like previous BT YouView boxes this one lacks Wi-Fi so you’ll have to connect it using the Ethernet port. Youview allows you to watch and record the usual Freeview HD and SD TV channels, and there is also a "backwards EPG" which allows easy access to all the main catch-up TV channels. Personally, I think BT really should develop their own UI for the new box and forget about YouView and Humax completely, but I’m sure they’ll simply stick with YouView, along with the other Freeview based pay TV services I.

It can make some parts of the screen look a little lurid, but general the picture pops with that extra vibrancy that normal TV lacks. The Now TV addition makes for a complete Sky TV alternative too – even if the Now TV programming isn't offered in 4K, as it would be presented on Sky Q. You have to look down at the remote to use them because the "Info" "Back", volume and program up-down buttons are in such close proximity that you always end up pressing one of these by mistake. Spain vs Sweden SHOWING currently, I have radio 5 live commentary via BT box connected to AVR, and Android box connect to TV. I read a similar thread (dated Jan19th) on the subject but couldn't find an answer and wondered if anyone else could help?Some say that the product is expensive and unre reliable, and not as good a replacement for TIVO as they had hoped.

Decided not to use the WiFi option for the box as despite booster boxes in my home , WiFi is patchy at times. You get 248 channels including 47 premium ones with a decent roster of aerial-delivered non-4K Freeview channels and broadband-delivered BT TV ones.

The primary purpose of this box is to deliver BT Sport in glorious Ultra HD, 3,840×2,160 at 50fps – that’s double the frame rate of traditional TV.The 1TB capacity of the internal hard disk is perhaps a bit mean as you can only record 60 hours of UHD material, but it is sufficient for around 250 hours in HD, 600 hours in standard-def, or somewhere in between for a mix of the three. This will mean trailing a long cable to your router but it will be worth it for the performance when streaming the 4K channel. Our one issue is that there’s currently very little content available on the Ultra HD channel, outside of the Premiership, Champions League, FA Cup, Premiership Rugby and MotoGP there’s not a lot on. One or two live matches a week will be shown in 4K on the Ultra HD Sport channel (number 434 on the EPG). If you're a sport-loving BT Infinity subscriber the extra cost to get the telecom company's 4K TV option thrown in with your package is almost a no-brainer.

The PVR is highly responsive apart from taking its time to boot up (a real annoyance) and re-tune channels. As with Sky, there are no dedicated 4K entertainment channels, with over-the-air ultra HD content confined to BT Sports broadcasts. The EPG is a paragon of onscreen guides, so that finding and recording shows is about as easy as it gets. After a long wait, UK ISP BT has today finally announced the launch of a new set-top-box for their broadband-based Pay TV ( IPTV) service – TV Box Pro, which among other things will finally add WiFi and High Dynamic Range (HDR) video support.I tested it with a Premiership football match and the improvement over HD was clearly visible: grass was full of texture, the ball was easier to see and the players looked clearer and cleaner.
