Does the FVP-4000T have Universal Search across Live TV and Catch Up?
YouView has a really good universal search which looks across Live TV and all Catch Up services. Does the FVP-4000T have this?
Thanks

It only searches now and future programs. It's also a bit clunky where you need to press the 'search' button then 'ok' to bring up the keyboard. It will also find clips on YouTube etc.

Do you mean it doesn't search catch up? Just Live broadcast TV that is on now and that is coming soon.Thanks for the comment.

YouTube but not other apps like iPlayer? How odd.Thanks

Yes, no catch up. I haven't checked Iplayer but that is mainly catch up so I don't think so.

:-(. Thanks
I'm considering switching from Youview but that has useful things this doesn't. Like universal search. I don't find I go backwards in time in the EPG. I tend to search.

That's fair enough. The Iplayer does, of course, have its own search function.

True.
I'm starting to lean that way. Even if it would take longer to load the app it would do the job.
YouView is good but quite limited really though.

It may take longer to load the app but if what you want to watch is on Iplayer you'll need to load it anyway.

True.
The Youview universal search is very good but it's only a minor point really. As long as you know which service the programme exists on (which you will) you can just fire up that particular app.

My old 4200 had a great search function, I used it to search for movies coming up during the whole week but the new search function only does what's on now. It's not half as good. I know myself and others have mentioned this to Humax but no joy as yet.
