That was a real weakness of my old T2100 – it was frustratingly slow and poorly designed (it needed 6 presses across 4 different buttons to bring up the list of recorded shows! Included in the subscription is the BT Sport Pack (BT Sport 1, BT Sport 2, BT Sport Europe, BT Sport ESPN), which includes all of the UEFA Champions League and a number of Premier League games. The skip period on the T3-R is selectable, but doesn't have the flexibility of the Toppy, which could assign various values to the coloured buttons. I have put our HDR-2000T back in it's box and haven't missed the 'extra features' of that unit in the slightest.

You get 263 channels at BT's top VIP package tier, including premium entertainment, documentary and lifestyle channels. It's been a few years since its launch, and it's a better service than ever before – despite strong competition from 4K broadcast competitors. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Talking of the router, if you’re not using the Home Hub 5 then there’s a chance that you might run into some problems getting the internet channels.Looking at the same game on the non-4K BT Sport HD channel, it was as if someone had smeared vaseline on the screen.

None of the menu options seem to work, I've tried Software Reset, Factory Reset (keep recordings), Factory Reset (delete recordings). The benefit of the YouView system is that internet channels appear in the YouView guide alongside broadcast channels and you can even record them. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.I also have a Humax Freesat PVR which gives me better reception for the channels broadcast on the temporary low power Freeview MUXes such as BBC4 HD but since that has joined the Digitalstream in no longer being supported by BBC iPlayer then Youview is the go to device for watching the free catch up services on my main TV (casting from my tablet or HDMI from my laptop are other options especially for subscription services not available on BT Youview such as Now TV for sport and MotoGP Video Pass - which I am trialling for the off season test sessions as a potential alternative to staying with BT TV / Sport). I suspect that if your already on the VIP deal- let it expire by a day and ring them up to get put back on with a new box.
