Whether you'd want to or not, is a different matter. With only the one aerial in there's no pass-through, which might limit your configuration options somewhat, as you won't then be able to simply use your TV's tuner, without splitting the aerial elsewhere. Arguably there are the essentials - HDMI, Ethernet and aerial input are on board - but for those with older TVs the lack of Scart might be a limitation. The slim nature of the DB-T2200 means less connectivity than other BT YouView boxes. That's one of the main differences, but the overall small size means it can easily be placed alongside your TV out of the way, so is especially good for rooms where you don't have a lot of space. There's just a single button on the top for power/standby, so you don't get the full run of box-based controls like you do on other boxes - for that you'll need to use the included remote. The top has a glossy finish to it, adorned with the BT logo and a ring, in which you have the glowing status lights - blue for on, purple for standby but connected, red for standby and no connection, essentially. If BT lowered the price then the BD-T2200 would be a fantastic Trojan horse to march YouView onto the other TVs in the house. If it's purely catch-up TV you're after, then Now TV is a cheaper option, but YouView's smart, integrated, approach has plenty going for it. For all the recording and conventional functions we'd recommend the T2100 YouView from BT box instead - it's a great choice with a lot more functionality (and a bigger footprint).Īs an Extra Box on BT's plan, the DB-T2200 feels a little too expensive. The absence of such PVR functions will limit its appeal as a main set top box, despite the trade-off in small size. However, the T2200 lacks any recording capabilities, as there's no hard drive on board, and no Wi-Fi means you'll need to trail a wire to router or Powerline adapter. The catch-up functions, now enhanced with Netflix, combined with great handling of Freeview HD, make it a great choice for the bedroom or elsewhere in the house. This means you’ll always find something for you whatever time of the day or night.As a compact way to deliver YouView to a second TV, the DB-T2200 mini set top box makes perfect sense. You can use an Intelligent Search across all live TV, catch up services and on demand that allows you to search by programme type or key words. Record one channel while watching another or record 2 live TV channels while watching a recording or an on demand programme. Whether it’s a one-off recording or you’re using the series recording function you don’t have to worry about having enough space. With the space for up to 300 hours’ worth of TV on your YouView box.
