#NEW BT YOUVIEW BOX REVIEW PRO#
The 2021 BT TV Box Pro is also now in line with Sky's entry package in terms of storage (at 1TB), and we much prefer that you avoid the need for a dish on the side of your house - this new set-top box is largely broadband dependent, using Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection for the best quality.Īnd when we say best quality we really mean it: with 4K (UHD) high dynamic range (HDR) support - including Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos - the sources this box can potentially provide just ooze quality when watched on a high-level TV (such as the Panasonic OLED shown in this review). But it's more or less in line with Sky Q in that regard - and if you want quality then, ultimately, you've got to pay for it. There's no getting around the fact that BT TV's ongoing cost isn't small. The big question, as ever, is whether the ongoing costs are worth it? Here's our review of the BT TV Pro Box, how it improves upon the older BT TV set-top box package, and why once you're invested that you most probably won't ever want to leave. Pocket-Lint Recommendation: Nintendo SwitchĪs we pondered with the earlier iteration of BT TV: with such an abundance of streaming content available in today's world via various apps and platforms, why do you need a pricey pay-for subscription service? Well, we can think of a few key points: the ability to record all your favourites in their native quality (up to 4K HDR) on the set-top box's 1TB storage an electronic programme guide (EPG) that pulls all your content together for ease of use, including rewind/fast-forward and access to heaps of sports content that you can only get on BT (or Sky).Pocket-Lint Recommendations: Xbox Console.Pocket-Lint Recommendation: Google Nest.Pocket-Lint Recommendation: Amazon Echo Devices.Pocket-Lint Recommendations: Fire TV Stick.
