Hi guys,

 

any of you out there have a youview outside of a contract? looking at getting one and just hooking it up the internet connection.

 

is there much difference in the talktalk and BT units?

 

cheers

I've got the talktalk one - it's painful and that's putting it politely.

Sluggish interface, sometime unresponsive to remote, requires frequent resets - it's been relegated to the bedroom and sky brought back in to the house...

Oh dear, thanks for the heads up

Does anyone have experiences of connecting these to an internet supply without using Ethernet or powerline adaptors?

 

Something like the TP-Link Wireless N Nano Router - http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/cat-9_TL-WR702N.html

I just use the powerline adapters, which are fine.

The interface can be a little sluggish, but overall a good unit for what it is

I bought one outright from humax and it's excellent. Better than the sky box I'd say.

 

The Talk talk ones were the older DTR-1000, which was pretty slow and clunky, but the DTR2000 versions are much much better.

They do work fine over powerline, but luckily that's not a problem for me any more.

I have had the BT T2100 for some time now and I think it is pretty good but at the minute, I don't have it connected to any internet so just using it as a receiver and recorder.

 

Ideally, I didn't want to use powerline adaptors so considered an alterative which this little box receives Wifi and outputs via the Ethernet but I can't work out how to set it up.
