Long story, explained here, basically YouView boxes can only currently decode IPTV signals sent by multicast. Third party channels independent of a customer's ISP are sent by unicast which the boxes can't decode. Hopefully the boxes will be enabled in the future, the link included a response from YouView in 2012 stating that this functionality was planned for the future. |
VUTV is available on none youview boxes too, you do not need Youview, talktalk or bt to get VUTV i know this as my cousin has a freeviewHD tv with internet connection and she can get VUTV, her provider is EE also WUTV offer a 14 day free trial.
Aslong as the freeviewHD box is compatable then it will recieve VUTV no problem (aslong as your bb is over 2mbs). Wether or not bt or talktalk provide the unicast service to Vutv i do not know but you certainly do not need BT or Talktalk to get it.
