About this deal

At first, only Premier League football matches will get the Atmos treatment, but other sports and potentially TV and movies will follow.

You’ll also need an internet connection and like previous BT YouView boxes this one lacks Wi-Fi so you’ll have to connect it using the Ethernet port. On my old toppy I set buttons to fwd skip 4 mins and 1 min, and rewind 15 secs and 30 secs, which was ideal! Established in 2005, Chigwell Satellite is the UK's leading independent Sky HD, Humax and BT TV retailer, professional satellite installations and are proud suppliers and installers of Starlink technology. PayPal Credit and PayPal Pay in 3 are trading names of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH.BT TV makes use of the YouView+ platform and technology, which means you get an EPG that scrolls back seven days as well as forwards and allows you to record shows from the past week so long as they are also contained within the relevant on-demand engine (iPlayer, ITV Player, All 4, Demand 5, BT Player, Now TV, Milkshake! It takes just two button presses to launch iPlayer, and a few more to scroll along and select Netflix (and yes, this is the UHD version of Netflix). Dolby Atmos is different from standard surround sound in that the sound comes from above as well as all around, and BT’s system delivered the effect convincingly in the demo I was given, where I was shown the opening moments of an early-season Premier League match at Anfield. Note that the IP content including BT Sport will not work if you use a different make of router, and that the Humax box isn't wireless.

The outline of players in UHD is much clearer, the detail in the grass is better (even in wide shots), and you can actually read the wording on the ads that run round the upper tier of the Wembley stand. Recording two live UHD football matches (five hours and eight minutes in total) filled nine per cent of the hard disk, according to the onscreen info. Sport truly benefits from the 50fps footage, as fast-paced action is easier to follow and considerably less jerky. Acceptable condition - Scratches visible when holding the device 30 centimeters away and perceptible to the touch. Sky is already broadcasting Premier League matches and F1 races in 4K (via its Sky Q box), and BT has its BT Sport UHD channel which shows UEFA Champions League, Premier League, UEFA Europa League and the FA Cup, along with various motorsports as well.

It also has a completely redesigned interface for BT TV, which is BT’s streaming offering and rival to Netflix. Looking at the same game on the non-4K BT Sport HD channel, it was as if someone had smeared vaseline on the screen. My BT DTR T2100 stopped working (it froze so I switched it off and now it won’t power back on) so I need a new PVR.
