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

I bought this set top box to replace a similar box that after a number of years had lost the will to continue working. The previous box had worked so well, that I selected this newer model. It is of good quality, was simple to install, and meets all my expectations. I am very happy with this purchase.

So I'm amazed at this great little box. Having previously owned a humax this is a breath of fresh air. Only down is this a a newer version & can only be updated via internet. I purchased this initially because I was advise internet wasn't required. As this is something I don't have in my home. Series links, 8 day guide planner which is great for when I'm away. Fast responding remote & box & hasn't stuck or let me done as yet. So I'm very happy with my bit so far.

I know these are reconditioned but the one that I received was in poor condition, it was quite dirty, the remote was sticky and had to clean both before commencing to set up. I had to reboot it several times during the first few days of use as it failed to record, also froze frequently. I read the reviews before purchasing which were mostly positive, maybe I was unlucky with this one, I returned the item (much cleaner than received) for a full refund and is now in my account.

Having owned a DN370t for a few years which had its issues, I decided to upgrade to this latest version which after reading the forums on youview confirmed that this indeed was a good move. This box is far superior, much more responsive browsing menus, Netflix and the other apps seem to work faster and slicker and less timeouts. Channel changing is much quicker and the remote has got better. It's really simple to use and I love the menu system which even my kids know how to record and search for programs. I use Netflix quite heavily on this device and it's really slick. Well happy with this device, get this version you won't be disappointed!

If you just want a straight replacement for a dead TalkTalk Freeview box then this is just the ticket. There are better options available though, which work just as well on a TalkTalk subscription, and will record programmes, unlike the newer TalkTalk units which rely on catch-up.

Having used many PVR's over the years I mainly kept to Humax products up to and including the Fox T2. I had a requirement to replace a TalkTalk DN360T in one room. After reading reviews on the various models within a limited range of YouView PVR's, I was astonished to learn that there were poor reviews on most other than a couple or so products. I was quite happy with the DN360T even though it was limited in recording facilities. After purchasing a new DN372T, I can report that this item has not failed to tick all the boxes regarding performance, ease of use, appearance and value for money. It is also extremely silent in operation. The new remote control has as many features as the older type and both are interchangeable. I have no reason to doubt that this item will be as reliable as the one it replaces, but only time will tell. I recommend this product and suggest that you read the full specification in order to observe all the features it offers.

It was fine but not for me

When the ‘box’ provided as part of our deal with TalkTalk, stopped working properly, they were spectacularly unhelpful. No, they couldn’t (or wouldn’t) replace it and could not advise on how to fix it. Luckily we discovered that we could buy this item directly from Amazon. It does everything we want. Infuriating to have to pay for something TalkTalk should have provided, but, especially with Christmas now here, worth every penny!
