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 choose all the 60s and 70s classics - The Prisoner, Randall and Hopkirk Deceased, The Avengers and Man From UNCLE.

I remember enjoying 'When The Boat Comes In' which starred James Bolam who I think, then went on to marry the woman who played his wife in this series.

I'm sure everyone can sing a little of the lullaby song which accompanied the series. It was very much a family saga but well acted and very enjoyable.

I'd like to see Elizabeth R starring Glenda Jackson again - I know I loved it at the time but can't really remember it now!

totally hooked on The Following, amazing storyline which is expanding all the time, Kevin Bacon is cool, and some of the scenes, well pause, rewind and sit jaw wide watching xx

It's Lovejoy for me. Those early episodes were magical, and the 'will they, won't they' relationship between Lovejoy and Lady Jane was pitched just perfectly. I could watch them again and again.

Would love to watch The Box of Delights again, it was shown twice when I was younger and I loved it but have never seen it again since!

GOODNIGHT SWEETHEART - I loved how he passed off all his little gifts like stockings and bananas as being "from America"

I would love to watch Quincy again, I'd watch it right from the start. I used to watch it when I was a kid with my Dad and was allowed to stay up till 10 on a Thursday when normally my bedtime was 9.

At the moment my choice would be 'Game of Thrones'. I watched series one on my own (as my husband showed on interest in watching it) and recorded series two to watch in the future.

However, my husband must have seen something in the paper as he said he wanted to watch it. So we watched series one and two together and thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn't mind watching it all again which is why it is my choice at the moment. Unfortunately we gave up Sky so will have to wait a while to watch series three!

I'd love to record King Rollo from when I was little as I'd like my daughter to watch it - much better than some programmes that are on now.

I loved the 2012 Olympics, especially Mo Farah winning his 2 gold medals - I could watch it again and again.

Only fools and horses I could watch over and over again especially the moment when Del Boy falls through the bar. A classic!

I love to pause, record and rewatch episodes of Come Dine with Me as I sometimes don't catch all of the dialogue and I love it so much, I hate to miss any of it.

I would like to record some old BBC period dramas, such as the Pride and Prejudice adaption to watch again. Perfect viewing for a cosy night in!
