Otherwise they're still great PVRs with access to on-demand services from all the PSBs plus UKTV, SkyStore and Now TV Films.

I've never kept a mobile phone for longer than about 6 months, I've always sold them to get the latest and greatest. But as long as I pay my contract, nobody cares.
As for working, yes they do. They're a very cheap way of buying a Freeview HD PVR with catchup. You can get Netflix and Now TV on them too (not sure about Lovefilm or Blinkbox).
That's what I believe to be true. If you're thinking about buying, I'd pop into somewhere like the DS YouView forum first to check. Enjoy.  |
Thanks for the info guys.
I'm not particularly looking for one, but the post about the cheap prices sparked my interest and thought it would be good to know the score in case I do decide to take a punt on a cheap one in the future.
BTW, are you sure you can get Netflix on the Youview boxes?
