A major benefit is how well defined nearly everything is. Large amorphous areas such as the turf still look like a solid carpet rather than lawn grass, especially when the camera pans. The frame rate of 50fps combined well with my screen’s motion processing to keep everything supremely smooth, although the shape of the ball did slightly distort sometimes. Note that you could partner this PVR with a Full HD TV (the HDMI output can be set to 720p and 1080p) and still enjoy those 50fps broadcasts. Is it worth it? Yes if you’re a sports fan with an existing BT Infinity subscription. Yes even if you’re not, but desperately want to watch UHD TV right now. The 1TB capacity of the internal hard disk is perhaps a bit mean as you can only record 60 hours of UHD material, but it is sufficient for around 250 hours in HD, 600 hours in standard-def, or somewhere in between for a mix of the three. Recording two live UHD football matches (five hours and eight minutes in total) filled nine per cent of the hard disk, according to the onscreen info. For watch-n-wipers all this won't be an issue, but those who like to hoard TV series and are planning to gorge on as much 4K fare as possible, it could be. Colour fidelity and contrast of the 4K content were first-rate. Looking at the same game on the non-4K BT Sport HD channel, it was as if someone had smeared vaseline on the screen. Now (TV) –Sky’s contract-free streaming service – but only on some devices (Also see our NOW review)

Considering how complex the content offering is, the box itself is pretty easy to get to grips with. Note the other boxes were not affected. 4K picture quality on these boxes is unchanged too and I think everyone is very pleased with the sharpness on the 4K BT Sport programmes. YouView+ Ultra HDadds 4K support – but remember you also need a telly that supports 4K. The 4K content is limited at the moment – you get some 4K content from Netflix (provided you have their highest subscription tier), and from BT (if you pay for it.) The BBC are planning to offer 4K content in the future – so you’ll be ready for that as well. Truth be told, there aren’t a lot of YouView boxes out there, so making a choice is – for good and for bad – not that complicated. Still, because the boxes aren’t cheap, you should still look carefully at the different features they offer (which is what we’re here to help with.) Everything is sharper than it is in HD – not just a bit sharper, much sharper. The outline of players in UHD is much clearer, the detail in the grass is better (even in wide shots), and you can actually read the wording on the ads that run round the upper tier of the Wembley stand.Dolby Atmos is different from standard surround sound in that the sound comes from above as well as all around, and BT’s system delivered the effect convincingly in the demo I was given, where I was shown the opening moments of an early-season Premier League match at Anfield. The noise of the crowd did appear to be coming from all around, but more impressive than this was how easy it was to place the PA announcements, which appeared to be coming from directly above my seating position.

Any Ultra HD screen will be equipped to show off the extra detail with motion resolution holding up pretty well thanks to a 50fps frame rate. 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. The benefit of the YouView system is that internet channels appear in the YouView guide alongside broadcast channels and you can even record them. It’s this blurring of traditional and internet content that continues to make YouView a real winner in my eyes.While live 4K football is shown simultaneously in HD and Ultra HD each channel has its own cameras, commentators and studio support. And both require a lot of equipment and manpower to capture and deliver the picture.

I got my sister a retail Youview box last Christmas from Currys I went for the one with the 1tb that's a little dearer. We’ve seen a huge growth in 4K HDR content and we’re excited that the new BT TV Box Pro supports such an immersive way of viewing.I have an LG tv that has Netflix app, and this flags up when content is in DolbyVision or HDR. However, if I'm watching the same content through the BT Netflix app It doesn't identify it as in these formats - just standard HD or UHD. Presumably the content direct through the TV is higher quality because the BT box doesn't have the capability for the highest level content? After a long wait, UK ISP BT has today finally announced the launch of a new set-top-box for their broadband-based Pay TV ( IPTV) service – TV Box Pro, which among other things will finally add WiFi and High Dynamic Range (HDR) video support. But you’ll need a wait for the wireless networking to be ready. Similar to its predecessor, BT TV Box Pro comes with integrated search – helping streamline viewing and removing the need to remember which show is on which platform. BT TV’s set-top box also offers pause, rewind and record functionality. With YouView and Freeview Play being so similar, it really depends on the specific boxes and features you’re looking for. Some advantages for YouView: This was resolved in Manufacturer Software 32.35.0 and all of the boxes should have upgraded to this version now.
