hi,
I must apolgise for what may be a rather naive and stupid posting but I cannot find an answer on google ....

but is there anyway I can get YouTube on my T1000 please?

I have recently bought my first Youview box - a used T1000 and after just 24 hours am absolutely in love with it.
I have re scanned all channels, downloaded the latest update and it all works like a dream except that I cannot get to grips with the Apps section.

from the Guide I get about 13 players shown and just 2 apps - BBC News and Sport - but how do I add more?

I'm really only interested in YouTube to be fair, and have seen it(and many others) at the app market at https://www.myhumax.net/AppMarket

that site simply shows what is available - there is no advice on how to get them on one's box.
I cannot even trust what is said about on which models a particular app can run, as T1000 is not listed under BBC, which I do have.

Welcome to our Forum

You cannot add youtube to a DTR T1000.

YouView control what is available via ondemand/apps.

thanks Barry,
that was what I feared - I'll have to delve into which Humax boxes can handle it, but it's not a deal killer re my T1000

For freeview:

New HDR 1800/2000T and FVP 4000T

Used you could try looking for a HDR T2

For freesat:

New - HDR 1100S, you may find some stock of 1000/1010S still available.

If you want to add YouTube and you have a spare HDMI socket on your TV you could get a NowTV box. There are really good offers on in Argos and Asda at the moment. You can get the latest model (based on the Roku 2) with 2 months movies or 3 months entertainment for £15. After your subscription is over you can still use the other apps available on the device. It has YouTube and Vevo apps amongst others.

I must say that I'm impressed with the quick responses and good advice on this forum - methinks my next purchase should be an HDMI splitter!
