Huawei talktalk youview review7/13/2023 ![]() ![]() This leaves vacant space at 600MHz, which could be used for new Freeview HD channels, as recommended by the BBC, C4 and broadcasting transmitter operator Arqiva. The switch off of analogue TV left spare capacity in two parts of the airwaves: in the 600MHz and 800MHz bands. The channels would use spare capacity in the spectrum, recently cleared during the digital switchover. The BBC and Channel 4 have proposed that additional HD channels should be added to Freeview. However this leaves spare capacity at 600MHz end of the spectrum, which could be used for new Freeview HD channels, as recommended by the BBC, C4 and broadcasting transmitter operator Arqiva. 800MHz is being used for the 4G mobile phone networks which is currently being rolled out by EE and later the other providers such as Vodafone and O2. The BBC and Channel 4 have outlined proposals for additional HD channels to be added to Freeview.The decommissioning of analogue TV (digital switchover) left spare capacity in the 600MHz and 800MHz bands of airwaves. Author Mac Aerials & Satellites Posted on ApAugCategories Freeview, YouView Tags Aerial, bt, Freeview, sky sports, youview Leave a comment on YouView from TalkTalk review – pictures and hands-on Freeview set to get more HD channels soon For all the latest information visit the YouView website directly. There are also kids’ and music packages, which are £5 each: you get 13 kids’ channels, and the usual music suspects. You can add Sky’s entertainment channels for £5 a month – which includes Sky 1, Sky 2, Sky Sports News, Sky Arts 1 and 2 and Sky Living. Your basic service costs £15.50 + £14.95 line rental per month. You’ll get your box included in an 18-month contract on TalkTalk Plus TV – 24 months for existing customers. When you enter the portal, you’re shown a rolling trailer loop, with the new releases, and as with HomeChoice, you can opt to buy a film based on this trailer, and simply press green to start the rental process. They also offer films through LoveFilm though it has to be noted this will vary from the subscription service LoveFilm offer directly. So it’s possible to subscribe to Sky1 through your YouView box, or to pay for the latest on-demand movies. But TalkTalk is also the first to offer linear streaming TV through your broadband connection. So its own TalkTalk player offers access to lots of unique content. We think TalkTalk is a good option because the company is building on expertise and technology that it has acquired from the days of HomeChoice and Tiscali TV. As with all YouView boxes, you can scroll through the EPG backwards to find catch-up TV to watch, or go forward to set recordings in the future.There seems to be no performance difference between the TalkTalk version and the normal Humax box. ![]() The TalkTalk box is also fan-free, which means minimal operating noise something the normal YouView Humax box does not offer, +1 TalkTalk.Īs you would expect, there are the usual on-demand options from the likes of BBC, ITV and channels 4 and 5. They are confident there will be bigger storage capacity options later. The free version (normally £299) they are giving out has a 320GB hard drive and a custom design, with TalkTalk’s own remote design (below).Īs HDD’s (hard drives) are still very expensive they have admittedly gone for a lower cost option here. As a side note, with any YouView offering, you still need an aerial to receive the normal Freeview channels.įirst, TalkTalk has gone with a box from Huawei. However since, we have been encouraged and it seems this isn’t the case, and the company has come up with a very interesting offering which we believe takes YouView to the next level. When TalkTalk announced its offering, we weren’t sure whether it was more of the same but with a TalkTalk logo on the front.
