TalkTalk YouView DN372T Set Top Box - 320GB PVR Freeview+ HD Digital Recorder

Product Information

If all else fails then try a full factory reset from the settings menu. You will lose your recordings but you may be asked to do this before the Support Staff look at other alternatives. I`ve been with TalkTalk for several years, but this situation leaves me with no option but to move on... Truth be told, there aren’t a lot of YouView boxes out there, so making a choice is – for good and for bad – not that complicated. Still, because the boxes aren’t cheap, you should still look carefully at the different features they offer (which is what we’re here to help with.)

After a bit more digging, it seems the talktalk server the boxes connect to is still available / working....If anybody else has any ideas, or access to the update files (to load via USB), that would be much appreciated. I suspect it may be possible to extract the software image from an up to date machine through the jtag header, but it's probably beyond my skills. The issue, is the update file ("dn370t-upgrade-Cds70.45.159Mc4Ps3.3.156Pc4129Api3.1.5.P.release"), doesn't exist any more on that server. The 4K comes with a catch, though – you need a telly that supports it, of course, and you also need 4K content – which, unfortunately, currently only comes down here to Netflix (with their upper-tier subscription level) and BT Sports (which requires a BT subscription.) We have many different YouView boxes, because they are all slightly different, we have different instructions for them. Once you've done a Maintenance Mode reset, you'll need to go through the first time setup again. To help this run smoothly, make sure:

Note that some of the very old YouView boxes no longer support some of the mentioned apps – ITV Hub, for example, was removed from some last year. After not being able to update the TalkTalk boxes, I got hold of a BT YouView box and today updated that to the latest software with no trouble at all. If you are unsure of your phone number, you can find this in My Account or dial 17070 from your landline phone and this will confirm the number for you. A YouView Set-top Box –This is the main receiver that connects to your TV. The YouView+boxes also have a hard drive for recording content.

My Connection

This is also an inexpensive option for people who are just experimenting with the youview box services. Humax is like any ordinary youview box but with better features. At this price point, Humax is delivering features that are usually expected from high-end products. Have you tried a soft reset? To do this hold the power button on the front for around 10 seconds and the box should restart. I've read about YouView ceasing support. Not wanting to continue development shouldn't be a reason to stop the most recent updates being available though (or they could be released into the public domain). However, just one example was that she couldn't take her 50 year old phone number when she move just one mile down the road still within the same exchange area. This previous actual LIE by TalkTalk was eventually sorted out after weeks chasing, so I am dubious of anything TT state for this and many other instances of "inaccuracies". If you would like to try and keep your recorded programmes, you can try factory reset through the maintenance mode option first. Alternatively, if you're happy to delete any recorded programmes, please follow these simple steps:
