*_ash_* Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Has anyone got BT TV and seen this new update? Mine did it this morning. Now the list of recorded programmes is pages of 'screenshots' of the programmes. It dreadful! Can't people read or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris28 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 As above, plus can't get the sound right - AND - the colouring on the 'guide' is now blue and white and difficult to read! What was the matter with black and white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtkate Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I have to say I agree it's a bit clunky, yet it's won design awards...it annoys me that if you've got a few programmes with similar names for example: Russian GP Practice 1 Russian GP Qualifying Russian GP Live each one gets shortened to: Russian GP... so you have to open each blooming one to find the thing you want! ARGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARGH. Yes. I mainly record documentaries. So I'm seeing things like 'All New: The...' ridiculous. Also looking through 9 pages of things requires about 100 presses of things. I've deleted most of them, and am cancelling my subscription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure if you go to a standard Youview service without the BT layer over it that it's not the same or very similar, I'm fairly sure the BT version is just a gently modified Youview GUI so you might have the exact same problems unless you move to Sky or Virgin. http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinions/youview-next-generation-hands-on As above!

sgtkate Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 No suggestions then really Ash. You might be out of the frying pan and into the fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably buy one of those TV recording boxes. Hopefully they will be better. I don't watch much other than what is on freeview anyway. National Geographic for Air crash investigations is the only thing that springs to mind, and I think I seen all of them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Get yourself one of these: Panasonic HDD Recorder Not only does it have a huge hard drive but you can also access the internet, either by wireless or Ethernet. The best is that you can set it to record via Panasonic's remote recording service on your PC or their Media Centre App on tablets and smart phones. Check the programmes on Radio Times online and set your recordings without leaving your chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old Sagum one I had takes about 30 seconds to respond to each button press, and I don't want anything like that. If you have one and say it's good, I'm good to go on your word.
