As with every other YouView box I’ve tested, the DTR-4000 is incredibly slow to start up when set to High Eco mode, which is designed to save power; you can switch it to Low mode, but we found that it got incredibly hot and its fans whirred noisily even while it was in standby. The EPG is a paragon of onscreen guides, so that finding and recording shows is about as easy as it gets.

To help satiate your desire for 2,160p material, there’s a handful of short promos in 4K designed to show off the format, located in the BT TV portal. So why is just about every TV manufacturer adopting the newer Freeview Play as their UI, and not YouView, other than Sony.

Agreed any serious box will have HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision (plus support for player driven lldv profile 5), and HLG HDR support. The Humax DTR-T4000 is a YouView+ box, virtually identical in appearance and functionality to the YouView from BT box, except with a 1TB hard disk capable of storing 60 hours of UHD content.

For watch-n-wipers all this won't be an issue, but those who like to hoard TV series and are planning to gorge on as much 4K fare as possible, it could be. You will never get any internet, satellite or terrestrial broadcast being able to provide anywhere near that kind of bandwidth.

Speaking of future features, the BT TV Box Pro is stated to be “ Wi-Fi capable,” but this will only come with an “ enabling update planned for later this year” (at launch you’ll only be able to connect it using wires). LG 55UF950 and the Ultra HD channel looks absolutely stunning in its 3840×2160 resolution – remember double the resolution means four times the amount of pixels when moving from Full HD. Note that Youview can be used with any ISP not just BT, just needs to be connected to a router for smart features. That is alright though because there will not be anything broadcast on 8k60 or 8k120 in the next decade.
