I really cant see how anyone can ask this as we have not got any details of the BT package yet.

I like the look of the Talktalk packages atm, HOWEVER, which is best depends on what BT come up with and also what the actual individual user is looking for.

The packages look good to me but I hope they address the the fact that you can't record the extra channels such as sky1 etc..and introduce hd content

It also means that TalkTalk viewers of Sky channels can't skip the commercial breaks. |

True,true..I was wondering though with the present talktalk tv previously tiscali if they could record the sky channels and if that's the case why would they stop that now because years ago I had tiscali tv and I think you could record sky channels

Remember, the one year old 'repeat' of today is the ten year old 'classic' that people will pay to view tomorrow. The YouView partners have no desire for you to record anything. They don't want you to have content stored that you haven't paid for, or worse still, doesn't contain advertising. All content owners today are working towards the end of PVRs and other recording methods. It might not be the right time yet, but they're working towards it. The only way you can stop this, is to vote with your feet and ignore YouView completely. |

They won't fix it. The whole reason for YouView's being is to provide additional ways for content owners to moneterise said content and network operators to moneterise their infrastructure.

Most stuff will be OD anyway with lovefilm , netflix and various other companies interested in launching apps on the Youview platform. On your basis we might aswell ignore Virgin media and Sky too right as VM charge a extra £5p/m to use tivo and Sky will charge £10p/m to use Sky+ if you don't subscribe. Youview is a pay once record forever option along with freesat and freeview. You subscribe to the premium channels by choice you are not forced to. |

That doesn't make sense let me tell you as a trialist you certainly can record stuff onto your youview box. All be it only freeview channels and ftr there is a fix on the way to enable the 110 - 117 channels and to record channels streaming channels too.

We've been told it's on the way as apparantly all freeview boxes (including youview) must be able to recieve the channels such as 110-117 and you will be able to record them. Which should also allow recording of other streamed channels such as Sk1 etc. As soon as i know more if i'm permitted to i will ofcourse keep you all informed.
I do wonder though,if anything can be done for the existing Humax/YouView box ref this,can it be done via software,and if not,why should it be in the shops,if it's not up to spec. |
