YouView is the latest smart technology to come to the TV world. Designed to compete against Sky and Virgin, this handy little recorder will let you pause and rewind live TV, record two channels at once, and watch programmes from 7 days ago.
So how is this different from what is already on the market?
Well to start with I should point out that it really isn't anything new in terms of technology. It's very much like the well-respected Humax HDR-FoxT2 series in its functions yet it can do everything a lot more fluidly. You will be able to use the guide (which shows you the programmes on for the next 8 days) to browse the last 7 days of tv and then select the programme you wish to watch. Essentially this will be a lot like using BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, 4oD and 5onDemand but super streamlined and on your TV. Still not sold on the idea? Well it comes in glorious HD and because it works on the Freeview platform there are no subscription costs. This really will be an impressive box of tricks, with promises of new features and updates in the future this could be a very exciting platform indeed.YouView will be retailed at £299 and we can install it and show you all its functions for a £60 fee (including VAT)
An HD Ready TV and internet connection is required.
