youview box branded talk talk
Hi all.... my freeview PVR is slowly dying, and im considering buying a youview box, My local cash generator has several in stock but they are all branded talk talk.
Im currently with sky for my broadband, and tv services, but this box will be a bedroom box. I do have a couple of questions though.
1) As im a sky bb customer, i know i cant get the talk talk channels, but would the catch up services work?
2) If i decide to change my provider to say BT for example would the box work on BT for their channels?
3) Could talk talk decide to kill that box for any reason they choose?

If you subscribe to BT TV they will send you one of their boxes for free anyway. Not entirely sure if a TalkTalk box will work with BT TV. All depends on what if any tinkering they do to the standard YouView firmware on these boxes.
Why would TalkTalk want to kill the box? Even if they could. All they can really do I suspect is bar access to the TalkTalk TV extras you would get with a subscription. And they don't necessarily need to do anything to the box to do that.
No media playback via usb either, but that goes for Youview in general.
Got one for £40 at Huawei 320Gb which you cant really complain about at that price but I have seen them as much as £80 mind.
£42.50
Please help I tried to up grade the hard drive but with no luck ,so I'd be very interested how you did it !
my local cash convertors has about 10 talk talk youview boxes in for about £40, and the non telephone branded ones at £100
No idea what the difference is
