Sign up for BT’s Starter + BT Sport package and you’ll get the basic YouView set-top box. The YouView box you get depends on which BT TV package you sign up for. What’s the difference between BT YouView and YouView+? In short, it looks more like a TV remote from 20 years ago than one you would expect to see nowadays.

It does have plenty of other buttons though- perhaps too many. But if you’re used to, say, an Amazon Fire Stick or a Sky Q remote, the BT one will feel unnecessarily cumbersome.Īnd, unlike a lot of other modern remotes, it doesn’t have a voice search feature.

If you haven’t bought a new TV in a few years, or you haven’t got a streaming stick yet, the BT TV remote will feel on the larger side of standard size. It’ averages 23.7cm long, so it should fit into most TV cabinets and will blend in nicely with whatever devices, set-top boxes, games consoles or media players you keep plugged in. It’s a generic black box with a light to indicate when it’s switched on (blue), recording (red) or on standby (purple). So, the BT YouView+ set-top box probably isn’t going to win any beauty contests anytime soon. You can also buy or rent the latest films and box sets from the BT TV Store.
