"You View" box

[Ann]

I keep seeing the advert for You View and think it sounds quite good but wonder if it worth spending £249 on it (from Amazon) I bet the price will come down soon.
Has anyone got one? and what are the pros and cons with it ........... I'm not entirely sure how it works.

You need a good broadband speed and have to connect the box to the router by cable.

You can watch Catch Up TV from iPlayer, 4OD etc via the internet on your tv. You can already watch these on your pc or laptop.

You can pause live tv, providing one of two tuners isn't been used for recording - it simply records the tv programme so it plays from where you paused.

You can watch a selection of free archive programmes 'on demand' and also pay to watch recent films. Again these come over the internet, so if your broadband isn't up to scratch you won't get a good service.

You still only get Freeview live channels.

Thanks hc - probably not worth £250 then?
