Youview remote recording app

[Jamie]

I was a bit disappointed to find out about a month ago that the Youview PVR platforms remote recording app was being discontinued. BT had their own version, but it only works if you have a BT TV subscription (even if you have a BT box).

This action by Youview also meant anyone with a TalkTalk TV subscription would lose the app.

However, in a surprise move by BT, they are opening up their app for all Youview users (when the Youview app is withdrawn at the end of March).

That is good news. I’m using a very old out of contract BT YouView box and it will be good to get that functionality back.

The old Youview app is now dead, but for anyone with a Youview platform recorder, you can now download the BT TV app (you don't need to be BT or BT TV customer) that will do the job (and also seems to do more than the Youview one, as you can view a list of your recordings).
