![]() As to your question on what is where in back of tv etc It is probably easier to take pic till I can ask someone else. We are just trying to work out the best way to view programmes picture and sound wise. When we have watched programmes on Freeview we have never had any pixelation like we get on Youview a lot. When I am on Youtube usually music videos there is a button I click on on my laptop and it just transfers to my Smart Tv then I have to come out of the Smart TV to go back to Youview. ![]() We no longer receive any emails from BT any more about anything new apart from the monthly bills. We consider our neighbour when watching our tv. It takes the enjoyment out of the programmes Remote in hand up and down with the volume all the time. We used to use the subtitles as the programmes we watch are so up and down with volume with the music being really loud then mumbling so back up again. I think the live BT Now channels do have subtitles, but check that. The Now app on YouView doesn’t have subtitles, for some inexplicable reason this matters to me, as I can’t understand dialogue without these, but it may not matter to you. With Boost, though, you can have three streams. If you don’t have Boost, Now will likely decline to start on the laptop if you are also using it on the YouView box, as you are limited to one stream at a time (there’s a convoluted exception with BT TV on YouView that will give you two streams, but let’s not go there for the moment). If you have done this and still can’t get any programme to play, then turn off BitDefender if you have it, or make an exception for Now don’t use Pihole turn off any ad blockers, or similar URL blockers, and try again. But to watch on the TV directly, if you can, you will need to log on to Now on the TV with the same account details that you use for Now on the YouView box.Īnd likewise with the laptop, if you still wanted to have Now on that, despite the limitations outlined above - you need to log on the the Now app with those same account details. Then you could watch Now directly on the TV, live or On Demand, though you only get the ability to record the live Now channels on the YouView box. If you say what make and model it is, we can tell you if it supports Now - or you can just look in the TV’s App Store, and see if it’s there. How is your YouView box set up - mains in, aerial in, and Ethernet in, I assume, and HDMI out to the TV? And perhaps also aerial out to the TV as well, or perhaps not.įor the highest picture quality, you need to be subscribed to Now Boost via BT TV as well, so you get Full HD 1080p, not the standard Now HD ready 720p, as explained.Īs regards other devices, you can get Now on many Smart TVs. I think when you said YouTube, you meant YouView again? Note that there’s no SCART input here, so if you’re still on a much older TV set, it’s time to upgrade.Won’t get a better picture quality than Now on a YouView box played out through an HDMI cable to your smart TV, whether via the BT live Now channels, or the Now app on the YouView box, so I am puzzled why you think it even could be better through your laptop, or why you would be trying this? ![]() ![]() ![]() Spin the box around and alongside a power input you’ve got aerial in, aerial out, USB (for firmware updates), Ethernet and an optical sound port, as well as a 4K HDR capable HDMI port. Low profile with curving edges, it’s a simple matte black box with gloss trim, with an inoffensive BT logo on the front that glows to show the box’s status. The BT TV Box Pro is about as attractive in design as a set top box gets. It’s the VIP package that we’ve been testing the box alongside for review, for reference. It’s a pricing tier that scales well to your finances and viewing habits then, but note that the BT TV Box Pro really comes into its own when you’ve access to the full breadth of its content offerings. They vary depending on the breadth of the package you sign up for, with an entry package starting at £12, and a VIP package, including access to the premium sports and Sky TV packages, costing £65 a month: Those fees aside, there’s no upfront charge for the box itself, with the hardware subsidised by the monthly fees. An activation fee of £20 is required, alongside a postage cost of £9.99. The BT TV Box Pro is sold as part of a 24 month contract through BT. ![]()
