Hello,

This is the feedback thread for the 20 testers who have received a new YouView TV box and who are currently trying it out in their homes.

YouView say "YouView is a subscription-free television service which seamlessly combines live and catch-up television. The service offers over 70 free to air channels and radio stations via a TV aerial and also connects to any broadband service to bring catch-up and on demand programmes directly to your TV. The TV service, which launched in July 2012, is backed by BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, BT, TalkTalk and Arqiva"

The YouView box allows you to record, pause and rewind TV, as well as featuring BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, 4oD and Demand 5.

We'll be asking you to add feedback twice - we'd like your first impressions now and in a couple of weeks we will add some more questions.

So, in terms of your first impressions. please....

- Give your overall impression when it arrived
- Describe the set up: did you set up your YouView box yourself? If not, who did? How easy did you/your DH/DP etc find it to set up your YouView box?
- Tell us which TV is it on/in which room
- Share what you/your family think the first couple of times you used it - what was the best feature and what, if anything, have you struggled with

If you're not a tester, YouView would love to hear from you - for a chance to win a £100 John Lewis voucher please share on this thread the programme(s) you'd love to pause, record or watch again - this could be a programme that's on now, or something special from the last few years or even something from your childhood - the programme which is really special to you and/or your family. Maybe you were on TV as a child and would like to see it again or you want to relive an Olympic moment or even maybe your a massive Corrie fan and want to never miss an episode! Please share this on the thread and you'll be entered into the prize draw.

Thanks,

GNHQ

Please note: The final questions have now been added to the thread on Tues 2 April at 11:31

I'd pause, record and watch again Call of the Midwife, as I think its been wrote very cleverly, in that it has a strong story that takes in on an emotional rollercoaster sometimes funny other times a little sad.

It would have to be Quatermass and the Pit. As a child, every Saturday night I used to hide behind the settee when it came on, although I really wanted to watch it, but was too scared.

I would love to watch Call The Midwife again due to missing most of this series as my Father passed away recently.

I like to rewind some clips in you've been framed they are so funny or daft and watch them again and again. Also with Xfactor or Britains got talent when it is a favourite song or performance.

I was on TV when I was a teenager - I and my brother were both good at archery and were junior champions. We appeared on a welsh speaking programme (sadly I can't even remember its name) and fired a few shots at a target. Unfortunatly even though we are Welsh, neither of us could speak Welsh so we weren't interviewed. I would like to see those few moments again - they may well be deleted straight after, depending on embarressment level!

I love to record whole series Like Game of thrones or Downton and watch them at my leisure at a time of day or night that suits me rather than when they are broadcast, Then I can watch two of three episodes in a day or not watch any for a couple of weeks, It's so much better having a choice of what to watch when.

I would like to see the series Family at War again. I watched it in the early seventies when we had the three day week. We were always desperate that our turn for the blackout would not be on the night it was shown!!
