Setting up

YouView isn't working
Make sure that:
the power light on the front of the YouView box is blue. If it's orange,
it means it's in standby
the switch on the back of your YouView box is on
the power cable's connected to the YouView box and the power's
switched ON at the wall
all your cables are securely connected, including those going to your TV,
aerial and Powerline adapters (if you've used them)
your TV's ON and not in standby
your TV's on the appropriate audio visual (AV) channel
for the HDMI
connection. See your TV's user guide for more
your broadband's working.
Once you've checked everything, try restarting your Openreach modem
(if you have BT Infinity), Hub and YouView box. If you have an Openreach
modem, turn it OFF, wait a moment, then turn it ON again. Press the Restart
button on the Hub, then wait a few minutes for it to restart. Press the Power
button on the front of your YouView box for at least five seconds, then release.
If you're using Powerline adapters, and you've still got a problem, try
restarting them. To find out how to do this, go to bt.com/help/powerline
If you're getting a blank screen using an HDMI cable to connect your box to
your TV, try using a SCART cable instead.
If you've tried everything above, and it still isn't working, go to

Controlling your TV with your YouView remote

You can turn your TV on and off (standby), change the
channel, adjust the volume and mute the sound using
your YouView remote control.
How to set your YouView remote to control your TV
Before you start, make sure the volume on your YouView box isn't muted
or set too low. Your remote will only control your TV volume once it's
programmed, so you need to do this now (although you'll still be able to use
the buttons on your YouView box to change its volume if you need to).
Turn your TV on then find its brand in the summary table on the right or
