Bt sport youview channel number1/8/2023 ![]() Would have been a very nice touch indeed to have everything with a HD option instead of SD or nothing. ![]() I'd like to know why HD carriage deals for the linear channels weren't signed by either TalkTalk or BT in the first place. If youve already waited 24 hours, you may need to update your software and BT Player. The fact that nearly half a million people now have YouView suggests to me that Sky has lost the chance of those people as direct subscribers, but surely it would be in their interests to have the chance of them indirectly. I assume TalkTalk are in negotiation with Sky over their full HD pack (at least I hope they are). There is already some HD on demand stuff, like Love Film Box Office and Digital Theatre. When they were in the TalkTalk Player it would take something like fifteen seconds for a programme to start after being selected. Now that these channels are incorporated in the main epg, they no longer feel tacked on. I haven't noticed any pixelation or buffering. The picture quality (SD) is very good, as is the sound. I have been able to watch a few programmes now and I am impressed. I haven't watched a full programme yet, so I don't know whether this has been ironed out now. Previously, when I had the Entertainment Boost, the quality was still pretty good, but the picture pixelated occasionally. Not a problem for me because my broadband speed is at least double that. The email quotes a minimum broadband speed of 5Mbps (I am sure it used to be 4), which suggests to me that they may have upped the bitrate and possibly other stuff as well. They are still in the TalkTalk Player as I type this, but the picture quality seems to be very good. Accordingly, I have taken out the Starter Boost, which adds Sky 1 and 2, Living, Livingit, Sky Arts 1 and 2 and Sky Sports News for an additional fiver a month. That being the case, I thought I had better re-subscribe to some Sky channels so I could have a look. I have just received an email from TalkTalk telling me that the full change will roll out in September, but that it will happen for the chosen few (which, apparently, includes me) within the next 7 - 10 days. Look forward to more channels arriving in the near future! A lot of work must have been going on in the background, but as a customer, I was left in the dark throughout the whole process.even to the point of being advised to leave Talk Talk, by a TalkTalk customer advisor as they had done all they could!! Since Friday, this has resolved itself and become a more stable service. It's been a nightmare over recent months with the TalkTalk player service due to freezing channels, even with fibre, with no indication from any customer service advisor of the cause or solution. Moving from Freeview to Talk Talk channels only causes a minimal pause and reminders are now available across both services. Using the service this afternoon, it seems to be working ok. The majority of channels seem to be there apart from some of the recently added World Boost channels (Arabic, Japanese and South African). Channel numbers ranging from 401 Sky1 through to Cartoon Network on 561. I can confirm that Talk Talk Player channels are now intergrated into the Youview EPG.
