#BT YOUVIEW T2100 TV#
There is a USB connection, which if nothing else is useful for powering other devices: we use it to power a Google Chromecast, for example, to make flinging YouTube clips and the like from laptop and tablet to the TV screen quick and easy. Whether you'd want to or not, is a different matter. With only the one aerial in there's no pass-through, which might limit your configuration options somewhat, as you won't then be able to simply use your TV's tuner, without splitting the aerial elsewhere. Arguably there are the essentials - HDMI, Ethernet and aerial input are on board - but for those with older TVs the lack of Scart might be a limitation. The slim nature of the DB-T2200 means less connectivity than other BT YouView boxes. That's one of the main differences, but the overall small size means it can easily be placed alongside your TV out of the way, so is especially good for rooms where you don't have a lot of space.

There's just a single button on the top for power/standby, so you don't get the full run of box-based controls like you do on other boxes - for that you'll need to use the included remote. The top has a glossy finish to it, adorned with the BT logo and a ring, in which you have the glowing status lights - blue for on, purple for standby but connected, red for standby and no connection, essentially. If BT lowered the price then the BD-T2200 would be a fantastic Trojan horse to march YouView onto the other TVs in the house. If it's purely catch-up TV you're after, then Now TV is a cheaper option, but YouView's smart, integrated, approach has plenty going for it. For all the recording and conventional functions we'd recommend the T2100 YouView from BT box instead - it's a great choice with a lot more functionality (and a bigger footprint).Īs an Extra Box on BT's plan, the DB-T2200 feels a little too expensive. The absence of such PVR functions will limit its appeal as a main set top box, despite the trade-off in small size. However, the T2200 lacks any recording capabilities, as there's no hard drive on board, and no Wi-Fi means you'll need to trail a wire to router or Powerline adapter. The catch-up functions, now enhanced with Netflix, combined with great handling of Freeview HD, make it a great choice for the bedroom or elsewhere in the house. We have many different YouView boxes, because they are all slightly different, we have different instructions for them.Īlready know your box model? Then find your instructions below.As a compact way to deliver YouView to a second TV, the DB-T2200 mini set top box makes perfect sense. If you're able to, make a note of all your preferred settings and scheduled recordings as you will lose them once you've completed a Maintenance Mode reset. Your box is connected to your TV with a HDMI or Scart cable and that the correct Source/ input is selected on your TV. Need help with these connections? See our connection guide If you’re using Powerline adapters, make sure these are connected also. The Ethernet cable is securely connected to the Ethernet port. If you have an Internet Mode enabled box, or the BT TV Box Mini you don't need to have the aerial plugged in, it just needs to be connected to the internet.
The aerial cable is securely connected to the Aerial In/Antenna In port. We need to access Maintenance Mode from the start up screen Your box is plugged into the mains and the power switch on the back is switched on. Once you've done a Maintenance Mode reset, you'll need to go through the first time setup again.
The different options available are displayed below. We know how important recordings are so we do offer options to keep your recordings. Some Maintenance Modes will revert all your settings back to their defaults, remove any paired devices and delete your recordings & scheduled recording list.
