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 would love to go back and watch Drop the Dead Donkey. And pause & rewind to pick up on the jokes I missed first time round!

I love watching nature programmes bu a certain David Attenborough sends me to sleep (as he did my mother) so it's good to be able to watch the programme bit by bit so I don't miss out

The Mentallist. Just to pause to stare at Patrick Jane. I love the story lines.

I'd love to watch Gormenghast again - I adored the miniseries when it was on, and now my small people are old enough to appreciate it I'd like them to see it too.

I'd love to see The Pallisers repeated. Lady Glencora was one of the most memorable female characters on television.

I heard The Grove Family mentioned on the radio this week. Does anyone remember that? I think it had a distinctive theme tune. Larry Adler maybe? It would be great to view it again as a period drama!

Yes, the Grove family. The grandma's catch phrase was 'I'm faint from lack of nourishment' and I seem to remember my dad adopting it!

I have never watched Downton Abbey but don't want to start half way through. I'd like to watch it right from the beginning.

I would definitely watch all the four seasons of Heroes again. It was brilliant, and I couldn't believe it when it came to an abrupt end as they stopped making it. Also the Good wife on More4 is brilliant so I would be happy to watch that again and again... oh and Sex and The City too

OOO that's hard so many good film & programmes, but I think I'd cheose either ROOTs the one shown in the 1970's (possibly!) or Tenko, they have both left impressions on me from first seeing them.

We would love to watch Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton again. It was such a happy occasion and the music by the British composers was superb. It's also an ideal opportunity to break open a bottle of English sparkling wine to toast the happy couple.

I would to see the Olympics again. It brought tears to my eyes last time, and it would again. A great feel good moment.

For our family it would have to be Miranda - we all find the series so funny that it is only by watching it again and again that we would hear all the nuances and double entrendres - we are so busy laughing that we miss bits of the programme.

My daughters have just discovered these functions on the TV and absolutely love to watch the Great British Bake Off.
So much so that they pause it when they need to pop to the loo or get a snack.Then whenever I cook anything they become Paul and Mary and tell me if I've got a soggy bottom!
They're only 7 and 9ys and i would love to get them some decent bake ware to help them along.

For me it has to be Casualty, the one programme I religiously watch, and the one that everyone else religiously interrupts!
