Starter bundle

I know this is off topic but someone on here can give me advice hopefully...

 

i currently have the starter bundle with another TV/Broadband provider. They only ship the non-recording you view box with this bundle however I find I'm missing lots of TV that I could be recording. Has anyone managed to get a you view plus box free from them so that I'm not missing as much sports.

@Anonymous User Do you think it would be worth phoning BT and see if they'll have any movement on giving me one for free? I've just recontracted my services

Do you not need to pay extra fee every month for the higher package though? Always worth a try as they say you don't get if you don't ask only one way find out

@Anonymous User . The worst BT (I'm assuming it's BT because of the package name that is mentioned) would be able to do is stop @Anonymous User from recording any IP channels that he may be getting from his current BT package, but they would not be able to stop Connor from recording the terrestrial channels. I believe people on the starter package get some of the BT sports channels. For example, Connor probably wouldn't be able to record those due to him being on the starter package.

 

So if Connor brought a Youview box that was capable of recording he would be able to record the terrestrial channels is that part of Youview's base retail functionality. But just make sure it's a Humax Youview box and not the brand that talktalk use. Some of the boxes that talktalk use have a terrible reputation.

Looking at ebay the bt recordable box is going for £45-65 if you can't get a free one and really want one without having to pay for higher package with bt.

Phoned them up got through to the sales team they gave me a number for customer options and told me to phone in the morning and should be as simple as them just posting me out the box
