Music rocks, got Mr Partridge all over it.Hardcore BBC Norfolk! BT TV box is good, even better with new UI.

Good video, only had my box for a day, so far pleased with it, only paid £25.

[milsonthomas]

Would be a lot better without the music

[Rayblondie]

Does one have to connect to the internet. Is there a way just to get Freeview through the BT Recorder Box?

[michellemellor]

I only have one blue light on my vision box. The one on the right is not on. I have tried everything. Can anyone help please

[RickJagger]

This was a year ago has it improved much on the last 12 months ? Thinking of ditching sky

[mariannewhite]

I have a new box but do not want to connect to the internet. How can I bypass this in the set up?

[spkelly]

[kevinhawtin]

How do we zoom in on the picture while watch channels as on gold the picture in the middle I press zoom and ok it says use the arrow keys. What key I'd the arrow I've presses every button.

[tonygrayson]

How do you highlight a recorded programme. For playback??

[paddyowens]

Would anyone recommend a freeview digital recording box

[bri-qb]

Disappointed you can’t use Wi-fi on it, so if you want to use it in another room it needs an Ethernet connected, which is totally impractical for me. Humax make the box, which considering I’ve had three of these sets in the past all of which broke down (not BT ones) so I’m not to happy having another one.

[morganjones]

I’m happy Showing off my Satellite Dish with Sky.

[bubble]

How do you retune channels please as I do not have a menu button?

[marcus]

Can u record the streaming channels like bt sport? And is there any point getting the new ultra HD version? I'm thinking of leaving sky as have bt Internet anyway....

[alfredocoyle]

Can I use a cable from the Youview box to my Humax HD Freeview recorder, so that I can simultaneously record different programmes on both devices? Thanks. Alfred.
