Humax DTR-T2100 500gb BT YouView Recorder Unit (Dual Tuner)

Product Information

In this guide we show you how to repair your BT or Plusnet YouView box by replacing the failed hard disk drive (HDD) inside it. However, the menu system also allows fast access to those services, so if you fancy watching Eastenders, you can just head straight to BBC iPlayer.

The YouView app supports only one box at a time, so you’ll need to head to your iPhone or Android settings and delete the unique number for your old box before firing up the app again and running through the set-up process again. They are powered, however, should you want to charge something up on the side, but that's about as far as they go for now. If you do not have a BT TV subscription but your box is still connected to the internet then updates will still go ahead as you are used to. Great to find someone on the internet who knows what they are doing and is spot on with instructions. You can either subscribe to this or pay per view, and there’s a handy shortcut – the green button on the remote – that filters the view so you see only content that’s included in your package.Is this just what I should expect for a box of this age, or is there anything I should be doing (whether a box reset, or a HD replacement)? And it's currently fashionable to create' interfaces that have the style of a touch interface even where no touchscreen is used, such as in the new Recordings screen, an apparent form-over-function decision. Annoyingly there’s no built-in Wi-Fi so you’ll have to use the Ethernet cable to connect the box to your router.

We've been living with the new Humax box upgrade to see whether it makes BT's YouView experience more compelling than before.

User interface appears much more responsive but this might be down to a fresh install rather than the much faster drive. Hi all, My DTR-T1000 has died and I wanted to see if I can copy some of the standard definition video recordings from the hard drive onto my Windows 7 laptop.
