BT Youview remote slow to respond
I got the BT youview box last week, and had to reset it to get the BT Sport and extra channels, now the sound is often down when i turn it on, not where I left it, and the remote control has a several second delay, is this normal ?
I cancelled Sky due to lack of funds, but their pic quiality and their remote seem so much better. Thanks for any relies |

The Sky remote is very intuitive and fast to use. I've always found it a struggle to go from using that regularly to using slow and clunky Freeview remotes. You get used to it after a few weeks though.

I have noticed it getting sluggish to respond sometimes since the recent software update. Noticeably navigation around the EPG, and skipping forward/back through recordings can be a bit unresponsive.
I half-exected this to happen when they added the ability to record the streaming channels - and I record and time-shift them them a lot. The box is often recording two streams in the background when I especially notice the sluggishness. Presumably they will eventually address performance issues related to the new software with future update. edit: I absolutely cannot stand the 'clicky' remote that came with the BT Youview box. I find using a Logitech Harmony universal remote a far more smoother experience. |

Latest update seems to have knackered it. The UI has previously been very slick.

Yes I have found that the remote is very slow to react and it also does not work well with the 3 number channels as I find it miss out a number and changes to a channel that you did not press ..it's normally the first number or last the box and remote does not work with even with the blue remote light showing a signal has been sent.
Also the software freezes easy in settings and epg is slow... |
