Hi @Anonymous User
My T4000 Youview Box has just got the full NowTV App update (see photo below) including the HD Boost service 😁.

Hi @Anonymous User
I am seeing some weird activity on my Youview box, where if i go to My TV > Watch List and play one of the NowTV Entertainment TV shows that has just been added there, then jump out of the TV show by pressing the back button on the remote it takes me to the new home page layout shown in the photo above.
Where if i leave the NowTV App then return back to the App later on it shows the old layout with Cinema only.
Going back to My TV > Watch List on the Youview box and start a NowTV Entertainment show in the Watch List Folder then allows me to access the new layout again if i jump out of the TV show episode by pressing the back button.
Hopefully it a glitch and everything will settle down in a few hours (fingers crossed).

I have it on all my boxes and I have Virgin Media Broadband. T2000, T2100, T2110 and T4000!

Sky Sports with the 50fps frame rate looks really good on Sky Main Event, Sky Premier League and Sky Sports Formula One channel with the HD Boost Pass on the Youview Box 😁.
Will have do some picture comparisons between the Youview T4000 Box and my NowTV 4K smart box in the next few days to see if any of the two boxes have any slight advantage over PQ when using my HD Boost Pass.
Unfortunately won't be able to test 5.1 surround sound where my Soundbase connected to the television is not Dolby Digital Plus compatible and only outputs 2.1 sound.
Where i can't test the Youview box in the back Cinema Room with my AV Receiver because i haven't got an Ethernet connection in the back Cinema room and use my Roku Stick Plus over WiFi which works perfectly fine over HD & DD Plus 😁.

Everything seems to have settled down now for me, where i can access all my NowTV Passes directly via the NowTV App on my T4000 Youview Box showing the new NowTV Home Page layout 😁.
First initial impressions seems favourable and my Youview box might be my go to steaming box in the future when watching on my main Living Room television (shame the Youview box hasn't got the YouTube App).
