Overall, I've had no problem with my box for months now and if it's "slow", that's definitely not noticeable in normal use. I had a YV box with TalkTalk and it was terrible.

The new firmware that is starting to appear looks good but no idea or info on how well that works with any particular box as yet.Īll in all - if you see a TT box (the 372 model) at the right money, don't be put off by some saying that it's not as good as some other box - it's not at all bad. Am using the latest firmware which sorred out a lot of well documented issues (problems with surround sound being the one that bugged me the most). The box is pretty basic - no led display to tell you what channel you are watching, for example, but I've never really seen a need for that anyway. It gets fairly hot but that seems to apply to all YV boxes. In terms of what really matters to most people - picture and sound quality are absolutely fine. I'm not saying that it's better than any other box - just that I wouldn't refuse one and they do seem to be a lot cheaper on ebay.

Oddly enough, using their TV service totally crippled by broadband and that too has been flawless and twice as fast since ditching them. The funny thing is - as soon as I left TalkTalk, the box became far more usable. I had a YV box with TalkTalk and it was terrible - constantly locking up, failed to record, really slow to respond to the remote etc. The DTR-T4000 cost me £100 and because of the fan noise and heat if I could only keep one of the two it would be the cheaper DTR-T2100 despite the DTR-T4000's faster processer and more memory potential with future apps. Although described as 'new' on ebay and amazon you'll need to balance the chance of it going faulty and the extra difficulty you will have if it goes wrong after the first month or two.įor my DTR-T2100 I also paid £60 for an ebay 'Brand New' model. 2nd hand but not used) ex-customer DTR-T2100 (that is the one which is basically the same as the DTR-T2110 but without the pretty cardboard box).

If you want a DTR-T2110 on the cheap then you could consider a 'New' (ie. Retail wise, a smaller option to the Humax DTR-T2000 but still available through normal retail channels with a normal guarantee is a DTR-T2110, but that does not have the Humax 2nd year guarantee as it is BT badged. Despite the fan it does get very hot and so I wonder about it surviving as long as one of the other models. I think the noise is the air movement through the vent rather than the fan itself. The other disadvantage of the DTR-4000T is that there is some noise fan noise. Obviously you won't get the same guarantee on one of these compared to a new retail DTR-T2000 or DTR-T2110 from a recognised supplier. Many of those on ebay and Amazon market place are classified as 'New' because they have never been used. If you want to avoid the chance of criticisms of it being slow you could consider a second hand DTR-T4000 (expect to pay about £120 to £130). If I recall correctly even the on-screen system information menu does not differentiate the two. The (non-retail) DTR-T2100 is practically identical to the (retail) DTR-T2110 but comes in a plan brown box and the label on the underside identyfing as the DTR-T2100 'model'. The BT non-retail versions are the DTR-T2100 and the DTR-4000T.

The new youview software that TalkTalk are rolling out over the next couple of months should improve at least some aspects of the slowness. I have the fastest of the talk talks (DN372T v1) and find it only just tolerable but that is a very subjective view. The TalkTalk boxes are at least slightly slower in their operation. Is it better to buy the ex BT or Talk talk ones through eBay?
