BT YouView Remote Control

Worked well

Even better than the remote that came with my BT Vision+ recorder, and a genuine BT item I thinkI am writing this just after receiving the remote control. I bought my BT Vision YouView+ 500GB box back in mid 2014 (a DTR-T2100 or DTR-T2210 - I forget which as they look the same, but not purchased for a BT Vision package, just for YouView+), and since then it has had very heavy use. It came with the remote with the silver OK/arrow array, and for the past year or more my most frequently-used buttons have required more and more pressure to work, eventually needing pressing with a pen as my finger isn't strong enough(!), and then refusing to work at all. I think this is quite common from the reviews I read. First to go was the forward skip button (for jumping over adverts!), then fast forward, then the TV/AV button (our TV is set not to automatically jump between inputs as I find that irritating at times). The original remote was set to operate my recent-model Samsung TV's TV/AV button, the TV power button, mute and volume controls.Having received the new remote, I noted that it had a black OK/arrow array (now in velvety rubber like the other keys, rather than the hard plastic of the original version). It has a purple BT Player button rather than black on the original, but otherwise looks the same. The new remote is noticeably lighter in weight (not a problem!) and the button action feels a little more "normal" as the original always had very "ker-plunky" buttons - I am hopeful that this means it won't suffer the same deterioration if it is designed differently inside. It is just as well finished and the labels inside the battery compartment show that these ARE the same remote control - but the black-button new one is version 05, versus version 01 that I originally had.Some reviewers here have said that the new-style remote won't work their TV. Mine certainly does. Because I couldn't remember where I had put the instruction book that came with my recorder, I easily found it online. This tells you how to set up the remote to control the TV: on the BT YouView remote, hold down the TV power (top left) and TV AV buttons (top right) together for 3 seconds, until the blue light between them blinks 3 times. When it has stopped, enter a 4 digit code for your make of TV. The blue light will flash 3 more times. Try out the TV power button on your new remote. If it works, try it again if you need to, to turn the TV on (depending on whether you turned it on or off the first time!). Then try the mute and volume buttons. If they all work, press your OK button on the previously-silver but now black array on the top half of your new remote to end the setting up mode. Try the whole process again if you need to have another go.The 4-digit codes for common TV brands are: Samsung 4483, Panasonic 3846, Sony 4985, LG 2992, Philips 3951, Sharp 4848, Hitachi 2424, JVC 2788, Toshiba 5523, Goodmans 2037. Hope this helps someone!

Works perfectly as it should .Arrived earlier than advised.

The item was fine. But the add on Amazon appeared to show that I needed a remote, which I duely purchased. Upon arrival of my set top box, a remote was included. So I am having to return said remote to Amazon at MY cost.Not very happy!!

My BT YouView remote control finally handed it's cap in after 6+ years faithful service.This is a (brand-new) BT replacement and 100% compatible with our BT DTR-2100 box - the only difference being the centre array which is black rather than chrome. I added 2x AAA batteries and all buttons work as required.I paired the remote with our Hisense TV (code: 1973) as per the instructions on the BT website. Again, everything works.My only gripe is the Amazon agent folding everything into 3 and stuffing it through our letterbox! Fortunately, the remote control inside wasn't damaged. Not the seller's fault but Amazon READ THE DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS.....Otherwise, we are rather chuffed - particularly with a very reasonable price and next morning delivery 🚚UPDATE (April 2024),I purchased this infrared (IR) device for our DTR-2100 BT YouView box. Alas, that subsequently suffered an HDD failure and we took the opportunity to upgrade to the latest BT (EE) 4K 1TB box (by Sagem). This came with a Bluetooth remote that does not have all of the facilities we were used to. However, I saw a YouTube article saying that older BT IR remotes will still work with these latest Sagem boxes. That is correct and this remote works a treat! I am even more chuffed.

Did exactly what it is meant to do, so excellent. Replaced my last remote which wouldn't hodl the batteries any more.

Absolutely fantastic thnak you

Bought this to replace previous BT you view remote after more and more buttons stopped working. This looks the same, the buttons are identical and it needed no setting up, put the batteries in (not provided) and it worked straight away. Really pleased with this purchase. Thank you
