You will then need a 4k TV with a HDMI 2.0 port and HDCP 2.2, the box comes with a high speed HDMI lead capable of over 18mbps and this should then be connected to your HDMI 2.0 port. I installed the unit by using Devolo 1200 powerline adapters which worked perfectly. Some (including myself) have managed to avoid this visit but some haven't. Assuming you have the required speed BT will then want to send an engineer out to make sure the box is physically connected to the router via ethernet - a 10m cable comes in the box. BT states you need at least 44mpbs, 29mbps for the UHD service and the balance for recording a second HD channel. The box comes for free with this service.įirstly you will need a solid internet connection through BT to be able to order one of these in the first place. The box is only available from BT when you take a total entertainment package which is currently discounted to £13 a month. The box is small and gloss black with lights on the front which show you what it is doing, purple is sleep mode, blue is when its on and a combination of these with red shows when it is recording. I do have the PVR in an enclosed cabinet so this may have made a difference. During the review I did not notice it make any noise but others have had different experiences so YMMV. It is small and comes with a comprehensive remote control that is very easy to use. It comes equipped with a 1tb hard disc - twice as large as most its competitors. It works exactly as any other youview box but also has the capability to receive and display 4K video in 10 bit colour at 50fps. This BT Youview box is a PVR with a couple of clever tricks up its sleeve.
