Hi all, thanks for an informative forum!
We've recently acquired a DTR-T1000/GB Humax YouView box. Our old Freeview (tuner only) box was ageing so a change was long overdue. Some local friends had the Humax going unused so we gladly accepted. I think they received the box from BT but no longer needed it, we are on Virgin cable (no TV services, just fast broadband).
I've connected it up (aerial, LAN etc etc) and all initially appears to be working fine. The signal reception is much better than our old tuner, as we experienced breakup before; PVR features and the HD channels are welcome!
I noticed the BT logo in the YouView menu, but since an update it has now disappeared, am I to take this as a sign the box is now running as some of you describe as a retail unit? As mentioned before we are not on BT internet so does this make a difference?
So far recordings seem to be going OK but I am keeping an eye on this as some of you have reported failures. I've hooked it up to NetFlix successfully too. I've connected it to the YouView app (2 devices so far) and that also seems to be working for scheduling recording etc. Haven't tried OnDemand services yet but can see they are available a plenty.
Is there anything else I can do with this box or should know about?
What are the primary uses of the USB ports (front/back)?
Any tips on the following settings would also be helpful...
Eco Mode - Low (worth changing?)
Number of Channels - 143
Versions...
Manufacturer: 20.9.0
Component: 2.8.18
Platform: 1234
ISP: 6
Many thanks in advance for your responses.
