I’m not sure why the person was selling this Freeview recorder set-top box so cheaply, but I’ve grabbed a bargain! I am able to use it without a TalkTalk connection. I’ve made sure some settings are off, which I think might help when using the old set-top box.

On the flip-side I think before the software update a couple of TV shows on a Freeview channel kept failing to record, but now they don’t fail to record.

Though I think occasionally the lack of an internet connection might be occasionally stopping a movie or TV show from recording, but I’m uncertain. The EPG (TV guide) works fine without an internet connection and I’m able to schedule and record Freeview TV.
#Talktalk youview box 1080p#
I’m running the box in 1080p as you can see from the photos. The update looks quite good and I think it is easy to use. My other set-top box (DN372T) in the lounge has those players, but the DN372T is connected to TalkTalk internet, unlike the DN370T set-top box I’ve just updated I’ve just noticed All 4, ITV and S4C players are not shown in my photograph. Therefore I can’t test any of the ‘Players’ or ‘Apps’ that you can see listed in the photos below. I’m now using the set-top box without an internet connection and I don’t currently plan on watching any internet content via the box. Manufacturer software: was 12.25.04 before the update and now is 70.44.212. Next is a photography showing the DN370T software after the upgrade.Ĭomponent software: Was 1.1.1.1 before the update and now is 3.2.108. I then plugged the old DN370T set-top box into the Linksys router and was then able to use a mobile connection to upgrade the software.īelow is a photo from before the upgrade, showing the DN370T software versions. I connected an old Linksys WRT54G router (acting as a client bridge) to a portable hotspot that I had enabled on an old android mobile phone, which wasn’t using TalkTalk to supply an internet connection. How I updated a DN370T with a mobile phone I didn’t connect the DN370T set-top box to the internet using BT or TalkTalk. Some of the information, such as software versions etc, could now be out of date. I wrote the draft for this blog post in May, but I only edited and published it today (July). Please note: I performed the software update in late May 2018. So what follows is how I used a mobile phone and a WiFi router to update a YouView box and my views before and after the upgrade. Instead I used another ISP to update the set-top box. I did however want to update the box to the latest software, but again I didn’t want to use a TalkTalk internet connection. I don’t want to use the set-top box for internet content. I plan on placing it in my bedroom, but I don’t want to connect this box to the internet via TalkTalk. I had previously owned a DN370T, but in my lounge was the newer DN372T, so why did I want another set-top box? For that price I didn’t mind, and it turns out the remote control for my DN372T box works with the DN370T. I didn’t haggle and that was the cheap price he wanted!Īlong with the set-top box, I was given the power supply, but no remote control.
I was at a local car boot sale when I noticed a chap selling a couple of set-top boxes, and I ended up buying a YouView set-top box for £3 (GBP). This blog post is about how I performed a TalkTalk YouView Huawei DN370T software update without using a TalkTalk ISP connection.
