I’ve noticed that if there is a TV connected to the HDMI interface, the onscreen graphics (Guide, menus etc.) disappear from the Composite Video output.
This won’t be a problem for many people, but it rather spoils your fun if you’re trying to operate the box via a Slingbox!
Anyone else notice this? Is it a bug or a design feature?
Oh!
Hopefully its just a bug and they will fix it.

I hope so, anyone using a RF modulator and some sort of remote control system will have the same problem. Similar to the systems used by millions of Sky box owners. Sounds to me like another bum decision by Youview. They don’t appear to have any conception of the problems that updaters from other systems might have. :cry:, amazingly even from owners of the legacy box the design is based on (HDR FOX T2). That includes me by the way. Compared to HDR FOX T2 I give it 2 out 10 (that’s only for the vod services).
A welcome to the Forum from me as well Steve
This is a known issue that is to be looked into.Update – apparently supporting both outputs at the same time uses a lot of resources.
Overlays, Guide etc are present if HDMI is not used.
If it is important to you then I would advise contacting YouView.
I’ve already contacted them. I’ll report back here if they say anything useful.
I’ll probably split the HDMI output, but that will need some conversion for the Slingbox.
I’ve now fed the output through an Atlona AT-HD560 Scaler, so I can output 1080i and the Slingbox is happy.
I also split the output first, so I can send 1080p to the TV and 1080i to the Slingbox (via another device that converts HDMI to YPbPr).
So its a very expensive solution with lots of adapters, but it works – and I can use the Guide from the Slingbox!
There’s a post from Ibear on AV Forums indicating the box may set up the output format as part of the install routine. Once set you have to repeat the install using a different destination. I wonder what you get if you install with a scart connection
I set up on Scart and have no problem with menus etc.

Just carrying out a reset with only scart connected initially now.
Edit:
Set up with just scart connected, guide, menu’s, overlay all available, but
As soon as you connect HDMI, all above disappear from scart output.
I have my Tv connected to Hdmi output of the youview box and a video recorder is connected to the scart scocket of the youview box and also the scart on the tv. And I can view the guide, menu overlys on both the scart & hdmi outputs no problem with out disconnecting any thing
Must be down to the way the TV handles a hdmi input that is not selected. Going to be a problem finding which TV does what.
Also subtitles are missing. A right PITA when recording to DVD for my deaf mother.

Welcome to the Forum
Any specific channel?
The subtitles are there on the recording and can be seen via HDMI but when recording to a DVD recorder via SCART they disappear.
