There’s no need to worry about missing a recording if the programme schedule changes, like a football match going into extra time or a breaking news flash. Schedule tracking starts recording your programme only when it starts being broadcast, so your recordings are always accurate.Split Recording
Split recording lets you record two-part programmes with a break in the middle, so you don’t miss the second half.Smart Recording
Alerts you in an instant if a clash occurs when you try to record a programme and suggests an alternative time to catch the show if it’s repeated or being shown on another channel.Note: The above features are available on channels where the correct and accurate data is being broadcast.

Bought a YouView box from John Lewis just in time for the Olympics.
Initially I was dubious for two reasons:
1) It's a brand new product and I didn't want to act as a guinea pig
2) The cost, as I knew that within 6 months it would depreciate dramatically.
However, it is simply excellent.
If you want all your internet players combined into one simply interface then get this.
If you want something so simple that when you want to watch a programme from the past you just type in the name, and up it pops along with all previous episodes, then get this.
If you want the best HD quality, then get this.
If you want to future proof yourself against further developments, then get this. Most of the big industry guns are on board so it's in their interests that this works.
It already has NowTV, which is Sky's on demand offering. At the moment you can just pay for movies, but soon you will be able to get Sky Sports, if that's your wish. Soon LoveFilm and Netflix will also be onboard.
The recording option works perfectly and 500gb is enough in my opinion to record many hours of SD and HD content.
I'm a cynical bugger by nature, but I simply have no complaints.

If you are thinking about purchasing the Humax YouView DTV recorder then well done for being forward thinking. This probably will be the best and easiest way to get access to Freeview HD and OnDemand services without having to buy a new tv. It is a shame that is is quite expensive but I suspect the price will come down and I'm sure there will be a YouView box without the digital recorder in the near future.
Installing was straightforward - ethernet cable and hdmi cable both included in the box and took around 5 - 10 mins to install fully. The look of the box is similar (?nearly identical) to the Humax Freeview Hd recorder and the interface is quite similar on the front of the box.
The remote has easy access to the OnDemand service area which allows you to go and browse BBC Iplayer, 4OD, Itv player and channel 5's service. Currently BT vision is the only pay per service that is available on this box but I suspect more will come available (Sky's Now TV for example).
My main concerns for this product is the software reliability - it has frozen once already on me but I have seen it happen so often with Sky boxes so I accept that it can happen - I hope it won't be a frequent occurrence. I also wished it had wifi but I suspect they will need to do this on later models. As the box is close to the router then this is no problem for me but having an ethernet cable trailing around the house is not ideal for new tech. Also the cost for this product is unrealistically high so I suspect that you could be a member of an exclusive club if you purchase. Expect a lot of "no, never heard of YouView" when discussing with others but don't be disheartened - it will become the standard for Freeview HD watching.
This is a product that will enhance your television viewing if you are not using Sky Hd, Virgin Tivo service or Apple Tv. I suspect already that this product will move ahead of Top Up tv if it gets pay per view football or access to Sky sports/ESPN but this is a product on its first few steps so I suspect there will be considerable improvements as time goes on. I suspect that Sky or Virgin won't lose sleep yet with this product..... not yet anyway.
Worth buying if you don't have a smart enabled tv and fancy having BBC iPlayer and others at your fingertips.
Dear Lord Sugar, it's a good product but not great. Your move.......

There are some very good things about this product. The EPG is excellent. One of the best I have seen. The integration of V.O.D. and live broadcast t.v. Is the best thing about YouView. It is very well done.
Setting up the box is very easy. Plug in your Ariel, connect the box to your t.v. Or A/V system with the supplied HDMI cable and then link up your router with the Ethernet cable, also supplied. The box takes about two minutes to boot up then just follow the on screen instructions to input your postcode and your away.
Something's to note are that this is a noisy box. The fan is loud. This is not a box for the bedroom. Even in standby you can hear the box whirring away. Other things to note are that the skip forward and skip backward buttons on the otherwise excellent remote only work with on demand video. You can't skip in your recordings or when tine shifting live t.v. I contacted Humax support about this but I am still waiting for a reply to my email some two weeks later.
A strange thing about YouView is that when you press the info button on the remote, the box connects to the Internet to retrieve the info. It says in the very poor booklet that comes with the box that this is so it can gather more info than any other service. I found this not to be the case. The information was just the same as my other Freeview boxes. At first the information came almost instantaneous as you would expect, but after two weeks of use it now takes a couple of minutes to appear, even though I have a very fast broadband connection. This makes it very frustrating to use the info button.
The next problem to arrive is a strange one. On going to BBC4 on channel 9 the picture and sound disappear after about two seconds. Now by going into the settings menu it tells me that the signal strenth and quality are both excellent. So it is picking the signal up, just not pushing it through to the t.v. If I press record it records the channel o.k. Also if I want to watch the channel I can just press pause wait a second or two and then press play and then it will display the sound and picture on my t.v. So in essence it will not show a live stream from BBC4. This is now also a problem on channel 7 BBC3. I emailed YouView support about this and their reply was a joke. They just told me to go to the BBC iPlayer site to see if ther was a problem reported there. as this lack of showing a live feed only happens with this box and none of my other Freeview S.T.B.'s or built in t.v. Tuners it can only be a hardware or software fault with this box. I replayed to there email to tell them that if they don't listen to people's problems with YouView they will not get a understanding of how the box is preforming out in the real world and they need to know this to sort out the few niggaling problems they have on this first release. I have just recived a reply and I am waiting for them to look into the problem.
To conclude, I like this box, but it needs more work on it. It needs a software upgrade to fix the problems mentioned above and until that happens I would say avoid this YouView offering. For this sort of money there are far better boxes out there.
