YouView is a UK digital TV service developed in order to provide viewers with over 70 subscription-free channels. They utilise both the digital signal from your home aerial as well as your broadband in order to offer a variety of live and on-demand content.
YouView's service is available on its own but you can also take it as part of a larger deal from TalkTalk or BT. All three YouView boxes give you access to free HD content providing you've got a compatible TV, allow you to pause and rewind live TV and enjoy a 7 day catch-up service with all of the major on-demand players.
You can do all of this plus store up to 300 hours of TV with Youview's Recordable TV box and get access to glossy UHD content with YouView's 4K Recordable box and either TalkTalk’s Total Entertainment or BT’s Max package.
Key features
- Catch up on shows you've missed with On-Demand
