Showing admirable restraint, its home screen doesn't overshadow TV content, however it does allow you to quickly navigate to the programme guide, On-demand content (essentially the four channel catch-up players), your recorded media library (cutely dubbed MyView), or search and settings. Of course, the real beauty of YouView lies in its user interface. From the finger indent on the flip side, which makes the remote particularly comfortable to operate, to the responsive directional pad, it's very comfortable to use. The unit comes with a glossy black zapper, which is a class above other remote controllers. Given that one of the key philosophies behind YouView is to simplify the connected experience, you could be forgiven for thinking that the omission of Wi-Fi is a bit of a missed opportunity. The latter isn't for media playback, but a Humax Wi-Fi dongle. There's also an optical digital audio output, Ethernet and USB.

Most users will use the HDMI output, but safeguarding its appeal to luddites are SCART and phono AV outputs. It's sizable box with a gloss black finish and distinctive illuminated power button. The Humax DTR-T1000 looks much like any other Freeview PVR. BT recently paid £738m to screen 114 Premier League games. These iterations could offer additional IPTV content, based on acquired contents rights, although specifics have yet to be announced.

In addition both BT and Talk Talk plan on rolling-out branded YouView boxes as part of a top-tier broadband package. Priced at £299, it's available through John Lewis, Currys, Comet, Argos, Amazon, Richer Sounds and Euronics. This first YouView offering is a 500GB digital TV recorder made by Humax. In theory, the service is infinitely scalable. Sky has committed to launching its Now TV subscription VoD service on the platform, and there's the prospect of additional IPTV services coming down the pipe later in the year.
