Similarly one may ask, can I keep my BT YouView box?
If you have completed your initial BT YouView contract with your original box, then the box is yours to keep.
Also Know, can you connect a BT YouView box wirelessly? YouView boxes aren't Wi-Fi enabled. They need a wired Ethernet connection to connect the internet, so that we can give you the best quality experience. We recommend using powerline adapters if your router is too far from your box. Alternatively, you can use a Wi-Fi bridge to connect to your box.
Besides, can you use a YouView box without Internet?
You can use YouView without an internet connection but you'll be missing out on what makes YouView, YouView. Connecting to the internet gives you access to the backwards EPG, IP channels and On Demand content. Not having an internet connection will also inhibit your boxes ability to receive important software updates.
