BT Ultra HD YouView Box UHD DTR-T4000/500GB with Twin HD Freeview and 7 Day Catch Up TV

Product Information

The bandwidth for 8k will become increasingly “available” as the Fibre revolution takes place and with boxes having a lifespan of at least 6 years i was thinking that it should be future proofed.

It’s important to hook the YouView box’s HDMI output up to the correct HDMI port on your TV, as many only have one 4K input. As soon as I started watching it was clear that the picture was impressive, but switching back to the HD feed truly showed how much better 4K is – the older channel looked softer in comparison. This additional detail allows the camera to zoom out wider, so you see more of an overview of the action.Their condition is so perfect that you probably wouldn’t be able to tell them apart from brand new ones.

When viewed live or in replay the quality of the UHD pictures (in this case on a Samsung UE55JU7500) is truly spectacular, with those additional pixels paying rich dividends in terms of definition and clarity. That was a real weakness of my old T2100 – it was frustratingly slow and poorly designed (it needed 6 presses across 4 different buttons to bring up the list of recorded shows!

There’s a lot more to the DTR-T4000 than just UHD, being a fully-fledged YouView PVR with seven-day rollback EPG, an array of on-demand content (some of it free, some rentable, some for purchase) and access to BT TV’s subscription package. While the box has 1TB of storage and the quality of the Ultra HD content is superb, a single sports channel won’t be enough to persuade everyone to upgrade.As we’ve come to expect from BT, the new channel is streamed over the internet directly to a YouView set-top box – in this case, the brand-new Humax DTR-T4000. Sport truly benefits from the 50fps footage, as fast-paced action is easier to follow and considerably less jerky.
