    Disappointed you can’t use Wi-fi on it, so if you want to use it in another room it needs an Ethernet connected, which is totally impractical for me. Humax make the box, which considering I’ve had three of these sets in the past all of which broke down (not BT ones) so I’m not to happy having another one.

    • @marmabeast

      Just get a WiFi sender plug and wire it to that, I have and it works a treating sky fibre which is not super fast

    • @Rayblondie
      @Rayblondie 8 місяців тому +1

      You can buy an ethernet converter that plugs into a power plug. This comes with a kind of much smaller hub. This means you get the internet stuff wirelessly or without wires from you main hub.

    I have a new box but do not want to connect to the internet. How can I bypass this in the set up?

    • @Rayblondie
      @Rayblondie 8 місяців тому +1

      That's what I want to know. I am find it difficult to get an answer to this problem.

    • @Rayblondie
      @Rayblondie 8 місяців тому +1

      The solution is not to go on the internet. I ignored the ethernet cables and just attached to the set top box. I just get Freeview through a TV cable which is what I wanted. Most of the internet stuff you can get from the internet I would assume.

  • @Rayblondie

    Does one have to connect to the internet. Is there a way just to get Freeview through the BT Recorder Box?

    • @Rayblondie
      @Rayblondie 8 місяців тому +1

      Yeah got my freeview without Internet. Great. I can record stuff on Freeview but haven't learn ed to delete recording yet. Such a simple thing but impossible to get there just now.

      Yes. It means you cannot get a simple connection to Freeview.

    • @Rayblondie
      @Rayblondie 8 місяців тому +1

      Probably the BT one described is a good one. I am trying to get it going on Freeview but all the instructions seem to want you to connect to the internet when I only want the Freeview which it must be able to do.

    This box is shit, not only does it crash/ barely respond to the remote and not work, ive had mine replaced and the replacement is shit too still too slow, barely responds to buttons i press on the remote and yet again still crashes, i guess for a decent tv service and hardware sky is far better....

      @johnwharton2617 7 років тому

      I may be being a bit thick and it only works on recordings and not Scheduled recordings and to that end I am recording loads of rubbish to practice on! But Where the hell are my other four MotoGP recordings!!! will it record them? And No I am Not Going Away!!! WRC is just the same! Day one and then day three, it is not on!!!

    PLEASE learn how to pronounce the letter "H". Refer to the phonetic alphabet. H for Hotel. Not Aich. All to "TRY HARD" and only shows lack of knowledge ! Otherwise the video is fine.
