The new silver/black exterior is designed to match BT’s latest HomeHub 4 and 5 routers and, at 24cm wide, is roughly the same size, giving a more integrated, consistent look to the ISP’s product offering.įor the technically minded, the size reduction has been achieved by removing the power supply unit from the box and replacing it with a mains power adapter, allowing the designers to also remove the fan. But, beyond the new exterior, the revamped DTR-1010 was identical to its predecessor with the same specs and performance.īT’s new box, though still made by Humax, is a radical departure from earlier models, being around 1/3 narrower, dropping the front scrolling LCD display and introducing a brand-new look. It’s partly for this reason that YouView and Humax last year updated the retail version, adding a fashionable Silver/White fascia to give it a more modern look. Although that box itself is less than two years old, the design is closer to four having been borrowed from Humax’s 2010 HDR-FOX T2 Freeview+ box and is starting to look dated. Until now BT’s YouView customers have been issued with Humax’s DTR-1000 Set Top Box (STB) which debuted in July 2012.
