What does the Youview mini do??

Hi
I've just signed up for Fibre optic BT Broadband with the BT sport package. Today I received a parcel containing my new Router and also a Youview mini box. I hadn't realised I would be getting the youview box and had assumed that by signing up to BT Sport I'd just receive an access code or something similar! As the Youview mini does not record does it do anything more than my existing Humax HDR Fox T2 does. If I connect the Humax to the BT router with the Ethernet cable will I be able to get BT Sport? I have an LG Smart TV so get plenty of extra services on that? Sorry if this sounds a bit basic but I'm just worried that connecting the Youview box will over complicate things.
Thanks in advance
Mattfb

If BT sent you the mini BT Youview box then that implies you have signed up to a BT TV Starter package (whether knowingly or not!). There are two versions.
TV Starter - Aimed at normal broadband customers. £4 per month, but with a £4 discount for the first 12 months.
TV Entertainment Starter - Aimed at Infinity fibre broadband customers. £5 per month.
You could check your order confirmation email and next bill to confirm whether you are subscribed to a BT TV Starter package.
The mini BT Youview box doesn't have the ability to record. Both Starter packages allow you to add the extra live BT Sport channels to BT TV if your broadband connection supports it. The TV Entertainment Starter also comes with 20 extra live entertainment channels on BT TV over the broadband connection. It also allows you to add other live channels at additional cost via bolt-ons.
These extra channels come over the broadband connection using a technology called multicasting. For many this is the primary purpose of subscribing to a Starter package and getting the mini BT Youview box. These extra live multicast channels over broadband are not available on your existing Humax box or smart TV, only BT TV boxes.
Both Starter packages also provide certain Youview / BT TV catch-up and on-demand services, depending on exactly which TV package and bolt-ons you are subscribed to.

  • On my mini ipad, I cleared the cookies/histories in the safari setting.  But what does the advance-setting of the clearing the website data does?  What's that used for? Thank you!

    On my mini ipad, when I'm on the internet -- a few times I will see a blue small pop-up boxes telling me to allow down/load or add something like the bubble-splash game or something similar.  I jusr click ignore and it goes away.. I'm not sure why it's showing up lately.. I'm not sure if it's a virus or hacked in or a web brower matter..
    Should I go to the cookies/histories in the safari setting and have it cleared out?  Will that help resolve that?? 
    And what does the advance-setting of the clearing the website data does?  Sorry, I'm not familiar.. what's is that used for? Should I use that feature as well?? Thank you!

    This indicates corrupt files.
    A restore should resolve.

  • HT4623 what does the mm stand for on my model of ipad mini?

    what does the mm stand for on my model of my ipad mini that is also cellulat?

    Copied from another discussion, from Phil0124
    The MM or Millenium Media according to what I can find, refers to the CDMA variation of the Cellular iPad for Verizon Networks.
    The non MM version is for GSM carriers like AT&T.

  • What does connecting iPad mini to my Mac Mini  through Bluetooth do

    what does connecting iPad mini to my Mac Mini  through Bluetooth do

    There is nothing else you can do as regards the Mac. Bluetooth between a Mac and an iOS device works only for tethering so you can share the iOS device's cell connection. Otherwise, Bluetooth in an iPad is for connecting to peripherals such as headsets, in-car systems, and keyboards.

    What does the (MM) stand for ie:wi-fi+cellular (MM)?

    I don't know what the "MM" stands for specifically, but those are the CDMA models, A1455 for the mini and A1460 for the 4th-gen iPad Retina.

  • Which App Store does the iPad Mini use?

    I know this is probably a stupid question, but just to be sure; among the apps available to iphone and ipad, and the apps only available to ipad and what-not, where does the iPad Mini fall in? Does it have access to all the apps on the iPad and the iPhone or how is it set up? Thanks in advance!

    The iPad mini is an iPad, not an iPhone, so it uses the same apps as any iPad. However, it is not quite so clear cut, since any number of iPhone apps can also be run on an iPad, and very many can be used on both. The app descriptions will tell you what devices, as well as version of iOS, the app is compatible with.

  • Does the ipad mini have built in wifi

    I'm hoping to buy an ipad mini soon. But i want to use it for home and on the go. And i was wondering does the ipad mini have built in wifi? And if it does how do i turn it on. Is it like the iPhone and it gives you an option to turn on personal hotspot or what? Thanks

    All iPad's have wifi capability. You do the wifi setup by using the Settings app.
    You can pay extra for an iPad that has 3/4G cellular. Your iPad uses wifi when available. If not available it switches to cellular. You have to pay extra for the iPad's data plan with your chosen carrier.
    If you have an iPhone, you can use it as a hotspot instead of using cellular.

  • I was playing with my ipad settings (it's an older model) and noted in the advanced settings of Safari there was a place to view website databases.  When I clicked on this I saw websites.  How do these get there and what does the space amount mean?

    I was playing with my ipad settings and noted in he advanced settings of Safari there was a place to view "website databases".  When I selected this I saw a multitude of websites.
    Can anyone tell me how these get there?  Can a website be posted even if it was never went to?  What does the space amount mean?  For example, 1.5 kb...is this quite a bit?  Would it indicate someone has gone to a site multiple times?
    I share my ipad with my teenage daughter and I'm trying to find out if she's lying to me.  Obviously she's swearing that she has "no idea" how these got there and I'm trying to keep her safe (she's only 14).
    Thanks everyone.

    Think of your PC and the 'temporary internet folder' where it keeps cached copies of web pages or elements off a web page for 'quicker display the next time you visit'. That's pretty much what that folder is. 1.5K is tiny. Probably just a basic page with some text on it. (you might be confusing 1.5K with 1.5 megabyte....megabyte is large...it's roughly 1000 kilobytes, so the 1.5K is a tiny file)
    As far as I know, the only way info gets into that folder is if the browser has been to that site.
    if you have a concern there are browsers out there, McGruff is one i've seen recommended, that allow some degree of parental control and supervision. That or you could passcode lock the iPad or enable the restrictions to turn off some parts of the device to have some control.

  • What does the open file dialog do 'under the hood' and is there a way to simulate it

    What does the open file dialog do 'under the hood' and is there a way to simulate it?
    I have a bug in my code (that I've posted about before, here) which I can't fix at the moment, but I do have a workaround.
    Briefly, the bug:
    I call a dll from a function node, to initialise and run a spectrometer. If I start up the PC, LabVIEW and run my vi the code runs without complaint, the first call to the dll to initialise the spectrometer doesn;t return an error but the spectrometer is not detected either.
    I've tried various solutions, see the link above, and none work
    The workaround:
    If, at any time before running the code containing the function node I open an 'open file' dialog window, select the dll and click ok/hit enter then everything is fine. When I run the main code the spectrometer is detected.
    I use an express vi to open the file dialog, I specify the start path and file name as constant inputs and just click ok/hit return when the dialog pops up. I don't do anything with the dialog outputs. In fact the vi that contains the open file dialog can be run before the project containing the bug is even open.
    I have to do this everytime I turn the PC on.
    So, either
    1) Can somewone suggest a fix for the original bug?
    2) What is the easiest way to simulate the enter keypress when the open file dialog pops up
    or
    3) Can someone tell me what the open file dialog does under the hood that somehow causes the dll to work and can it be simulated in straight LabVIEW
    I suspect that the dll itself is dodgy ( I have in the past talked to the supplier but not got very far, and I will try again but I would like a quick, temporary solution too). I'm guessing that the file dialog is making some kind of check on the file, and possibly registering its presence with the OS (winXP). I tried using the file/folder exists vi to see if checking the file like that worked but no luck.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Hi David
    I am very conscious about thread hijacking but this sounded like my issue so I hope you dont mind me asking about your issue. I am hoping that you have a spectrometer from the same vendor as me and its not just me seeing an Error 1097 issue. My spectrometer is from a company called Stellarnet.
    So far I have unable to get it to work with other VIs. There is one condition where I can get it to work but its no good for me.
    Case 1
    I open the VI in a fresh labview environment with no other VIs in memory. The code runs with no issue.
    Case 2
    Labview is not opened. I double click the spectrometer VI in windows explorer.  The VI opens but it fails to run resulting in Error 1097. Personally, I dont see the difference between this and Case 1 above and yet it fails.
    Case 3
    If I already have other VI's in memory and try to load the spectrometer VI and run it fails with Error 1097. This case is the one that most important to me. I have a test executive that will load test VIs dynamically and I can't get this to work. Same problem Error 1097.
    I wanted to share what I have seen with you and to let you know that maybe somebody else has the same issue. I am convinced its the DLL but the vendor dis-agreed saying it was LabVIEW. I couldn't convince him otherwise.
    Thanks in advance
    David

  • What does the recovery CD contain - Satellite A100-847

    Hello guys
    I had a few questions about the recovery CD:
    1- What does the recovery CD contain? and the other CD which is called Media something?
    2- Does it have Windows in it? So I can format my PC using it? And from where can i find the product key (windows key)
    3- What if i wanted to use the CD without formatting? etc. installing the softwares?
    Sorry for asking too much but my laptop started disturbing me. Just for knowledge my Laptop is satellite A100-847

    Hello
    I will try to answer your question.
    1 Recovery media contains recovery image. Recovery image is a kind of package that contains operating system, all necessary drivers, Toshiba tools and utilities and some additional software like WinDVD or Norton antivir application. Media something is not known to me. Maybe exact description can help.
    2 Yes it has Windows OS. Yes you can format your notebook using it. You do not need product key. Just install it.
    3 I do not know what you mean. The fact is that HDD will be formatted before you start recovery installation. Be sure all your important data are saved on some external device.
    Bye

  • Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?

    I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

    It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

    Does it even really matter...?
    Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
    Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter.
