  • 7-day catch-up services from the UK’s main broadcasters

  • The DTR-1000 worked well during our time testing it at home, and its slow start was probably due to the simple fact that its £250 starting price is fairly expensive compared to most ordinary Freeview boxes. However, BT and TalkTalk are both currently offe...

  • Overall the DTR-T1000 is a wonderful introduction to YouView, seamlessly combining its regular digital TV and online content within an attractive and intuitive GUI. But even without the online stuff this would be a killer PVR, with a sizeable 500GB hard ...
