    I have just been handed a Humax 2000T YouView box, and I am trying to find out how to see Catchup TV. I had a look on Youtube and I saw a date line above the timeline. I don't seem to have that and I cannot see anywhere you to add it !

    Could someone point me in the right direction ???

    The Humax 2000T is not a Youview box. Are you sure that is the model?

    Is it the very different T2000 that you have been given?

    It is indeed an HDR 2000T and it says on the side of the box,

    Humax TV Portal, and the first line is 'Catch-Up' TV, followed by BBC IPlayer etc..

    This from the description
    500GB Hard Drive Disc up to 300 hours recording time
    Record, pause and rewind live TV
    Over 70 channels 4 in HD
    Catch up TV (inc. BBC iPlayer) via Humax Portal
    Record two programmes simultaneously whilst watching one

    You can download the manual from http://www.humaxdigital.com/uk/data/product/1381219193/HDR-2000T_Manual.pdf

    Always worth looking at the manual.

    First thing I did, and I cannot see anything in it about Catch Up TV, so is it wrong on the box ?

    It has iplayer and youtube but not ITV player, CH4 and CH5 OD. These are available on a Youview box.

    Your HDR-2000T is a Freeview+ box not a Youview one (These have model numbers starting with DTR)

    As it has iPlayer I would say that it is not wrong on the box and that it can claim to have catch-up. It's just not all the obvious catch-up which some would find desirable.

    Yes it's the way 'Catch up tv ' in quotes that made me suspicious. I can get Iplayer and it works, but I can already get that on my TV and my Freesat, so no further ahead. I have to conclude it's my mistake and I shall send it back and get a "proper" Humax Youview box.
    Thanks everyone for your inputs..

    There are some differences between the YouView models which you might want to be aware of.

    The earlier models, DTR-T1000 and to a lesser extent DTR-T1010, have a reputation for dying young, though YouView say the failure rate is within normal range.

    Later models (DTR-T2000, DTR-T2100, DTR-T2110) seem to be more reliable.
