YouView provides access to free-to-air digital terrestrial television (DTT) channels from Freeview using an aerial connection, and to TV on demand ("catch-up TV") services using a broadband internet connection. YouView is a hybrid television platform in the United Kingdom developed by YouView TV Ltd., a partnership of four broadcasters, the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 and three telecommunications operators, Arqiva, BT Group and TalkTalk Group. You can skip between days using the rewind and fast forward buttons – a nice touch.IPTV, electronic programme guide, video on demand, digital video recording If you hold down a button to skip forward or backwards, the EPG gives up trying to display programme data and quickly scrolls along the time bar. It’s fast to navigate through menus, launch on-demand players and browse the EPG. Performance-wise, the box (a Humax DTR-T2100) is leagues better than the old DTR-T1000. Note that the Ultra HD version does have a fan, which can be a little irritating in a quiet room. Unless you’re right next to the box, this is inaudible, so it’s ideal for bedrooms as well as the living room or kitchen. There are no fans, so it’s virtually silent except for the exceptionally quiet whirring of the laptop-style hard drive. You can always watch recorded shows during recording, though. Depending on which these are, you may or may not be able to watch a third, different channel while recording two others.

As there are two Freeview HD tuners inside the box, you can record two separate channels at the same time.
