Clarity on YouView plans.

[Anonymous User]

Good Morning NowTV,

I'm thinking of buying a Humax DTR-T2000 and would like to know when/if ever it will fully support NowTV and not just Movies.

It would be good to learn what future plans NowTV have to adress this issue, as it seems the tech issue have now been resolved?

Thanks.

@Anonymous User it's unlikely that NOW TV would publish their roadmaps. If it does happen you're most likely to find out on the launch day.

Hi @Anonymous User

I'm not sure if this helps, but on the page at the link below is Youview's latest comment regarding full availability of now TV (now TV is of course not fully available on Youview at this time)

https://community.youview.com/youview/topics/nowtv-entertainment-and-sport-bundles-will-these-ever-be-on-youview?topic-reply-list[settings][filter_by]=all&topic-reply-list[settings][page]=2#topic-reply-list

I've also included a screenshot of the comment. As I can't give you a link which takes you straight to that post as the Youview forum doesn't support that functionality

@commanda6 if you click on the date of the actual post on the Youview forum, it reloads and thus provides a direct link. The Nowtv topic is awfully long, so  here you go for convenience :

Now it appears the that the long over due technical barrier has been lifted on the Youview platform, coupled with the fact we also have an official statement from Nowtv in their help section of the Youview app stating "...we are working with Youview to bring you the live channles soon", perhaps Nowtv would be kind enough to update us on progress and intentions for Youview?

Still no reply from Nowtv. After 4 years of waiting ( all be it Youviews fault) could we please have an official statement from Nowtv now that the technical barriers to the full service have been removed? Will you be bringing the full Nowtv to Youview? I think eager potential customers deserve to know.

Hi @Anonymous User

I think you might be jumping the gun a bit. Youview's comment says that significant progress has been made in developing technologies/removing technical limitations, but it stops short of saying that all the technical limitations preventing the availability of extra channels outside of ISPs has been removed.

You may well be right. However to put a statement out like seems very positive from Youview. It's open to interpretation, but "significant" suggests big progress to me. They also go on to qualify the statement by mentioning that there are other factors that may hold up full Nowtv on Youview, costs and licensing. Which seems like a departure from their statements in the past, maybe suggesting that goal posts have now shifted?
