A USB port is included but is for engineering purposes only, so sadly there is a no opportunity to attach additional storage which, bearing in mind the 500gb disk within the box, is a missed opportunity.

All the buttons required to control YouView are present and correct, including a quick access button to BT’s online services (for BT subscribers.)Īs one would expect, the rear sports HDMI, SCART, Ethernet, audio (including optical) and RF in and out for a FreeView compatible aerial.

The buttons have a pleasing squishy feel to them but overall the remote seems a bit light and not particularly solid. The controller itself feels a little cheaper than the Humax original and sits slightly less well in the hand. The top of the box provides a basic set of controls that will allow navigation through the vast majority of the user interface in the event that the remote controller is not available or, worse, out of battery power on Christmas day, with no open shops nearby. Instead soft blue, purple and red LED’s indicate stand-by, power-save and active modes. BT were going for a Home Hub family style, which is only partially successful and sacrifices the useful text display on other Humax machines that showed channel, programme and other playback information. Unlike the earlier Humax boxes, there is little to indicate life on the outside of the device. With the Christmas season approaching and the festive edition of the Radio Times clogging up the magazine rack, will this Freeview recorder ensure you’ll never miss the annual broadcast of the Snowman? This means you’ll always find something for you whatever time of the day or night.The current BT YouView+ set-top box is a rebadged Humax device (the DTR-T2100) and is handed out either free, or for a very small charge, to BT subscribers, or available for under £130 from most high street or online retailers. You can use an Intelligent Search across all live TV, catch up services and on demand that allows you to search by programme type or key words.
