![]() Primitivo is an Italian red grape that produces bold wines with smooth flavours of blackberry, dark chocolate and liquorice.

I’ve listed the regular prices there are offers from time to time, but they’re time-limited, so check out the current deals. As of today, they all include Netflix as standard bar the Sports package. It means you can record content from NOW BT is the only provider that lets you do this.īT has a few subscription packages available, all of which have a £29.99 set-up fee with the set-top box detailed above included. However, BT also streams the channels to your box, as though they were live channels. First, you can use the NOW app built into the box or available via your phone, tablet or a streaming stick and watch your subscription wherever you go. Plus, you can add Sky content via NOW.Ī big difference here is that NOW can be enjoyed in two ways. That’s what BT does for its premium offering, with the option of extra channels, including AMC and BT Sport, the latter available in Ultra HD with the right package. Premium channels can be layered on top, streamed via the internet but still integrating into the main guide. As with this previous box, this updated is a smart TV platform that combines Freeview TV with streamed channels. Instead, BT has taken YouView as its base and updated it. While the old box was fully YouView branded, you won’t find this name anywhere on the new box. This works out at around 600 hours of SD recording, reducing to 250 hours for HD TV and 60 hours for 4K.Īlthough there’s only a single aerial input, the BT TV Box Pro has four tuners, allowing you to record up to three shows at once, while watching a single live stream. The updated BT TV box comes with a 1TB hard disk, double that of the previous box. There’s also an optical S/PDIF audio output and Gigabit Ethernet. It has fewer buttons overall, so those remaining are larger and easier to hit.Ī single HDMI 2.0 output can be found on the rear: it supports HDR (not Dolby Vision) and Dolby Atmos via Dolby Digital Plus. Technically, this means you can put the TV Box Pro in a cupboard, although the company warns that this will impact Wi-Fi, so you should place it out in the open.Ĭompared to the fiddly YouTube remote of the old box, the new remote is both simpler and easier to use. Next, the remote control with the new model has been upgraded to Bluetooth, so you no longer need line-of-sight to make it work. In addition, the company is very clear about using your BT router, largely because of the streaming protocol that BT TV uses (more on this later). BT recommends that you keep the box within 5m of your router, and only have one wall or ceiling between it. ![]() First, there’s now Wi-Fi, so you don’t have to wire the box into your home network. Several issues with the original have been resolved. A sleeker, curved box (32 x 335 x 127mm), it looks far more modern, with more in common with Sky Q than the BT box of old. Today, that box is out, replaced with the BT TV Box Pro. One of the problems with the existing BT TV service was its reliance on the rather ugly and ageing BT YouView+ Ultra HD box. The use of an old and rarely supported streaming format ties you to the BT router, and the lack of much original content makes the BT TV Box Pro a combination of brilliant and frustrating. On top of this you can add premium channels through NOW via live streaming, although you can, uniquely, record these streams. Now, the company is back with the BT TV Box Pro – a sleeker, faster set-top box that offers support for Dolby Atmos and 4K HDR in more areas.Īt the heart of the service remains the YouView platform, which is starting to show its age, despite being updated and tweaked by TV. Although the service has evolved over the years, the same couldn’t be said for the hardware. You may not remember, but it was BT that was first to launch a 4K channel in the UK, via its BT TV platform and original 4K set-top box. NOW also available via streaming and you can record the channels, too Entertainment You get all of the Freeview channels, delivered by four tuners, plus BT, NOW, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4, My5, Milkshake, BritBox via apps. ![]() Resolution This is a 4K set-top box, supporting HDR. ![]() Went in with Victor, Catapult C4, Atlas II, KGC Destroyed turret and building the run for evac, killed 1 reinforcement too (Wolverine)Ĭhose heavy route.

Result: Withdrawal, Hatchetman Lost, Pilot in Hospital for 60 days, FS almost wrecked. Firestarter, Hatchetman, Vindicator, Centurion Here is a brief Run down of my experience.Įnter FP find 50 tonne limit (when I have mostly 55 tonners Grrr!)ġst attempt. This FP has been costly to say the least. You should note that I consider a mission a failure should I lose a mech and generally try to kill everything whilst doing so. I also have extended sight (400) and sensor ranges(500) which probably helped the AI more than me in the first and last missions. I only played this for he first time just a week ago on an iron man save, 2000 days in, 5 parts for mechs and Loss on CT destruction on. I've been playing this game a lot (1000+ hours according to Steam) and I have found this particular FP to be the most difficult by far. So for my next attempt I will try to spawn them earlier so they can disperse a little. The problem with that you get a fresh cluster of enemies right in your path to the evac zone. My strategy was to creep up to all beacons and kill as many as I could on the way and then do all the beacons at once so I didn't have to face even more enemies. Trying the mission with a Kintaro and Grashopper as substitutes was impossible, not enough damage to thin out the enemies. I had to redo the third mission because the first time I had two mechs with internal damage that I couldn't use in the last one. The second mission was quite hard with those since you face very heavy enemies and the evac zone spawned right in the middle of them. I don't think that it is an original FP since target acquisition missions came with UW?Īnd that is why I started the thread with that information because I had a lance of fully equipped 55t mechs that I couldn't use.įor the first to missions I used a PNT-9R with ER PPC that I had ready and had to get some 50t out of storage CN9-A, CN9-AL and HCT-F. ![]() Eco-Friendly Business Cards – for those who want to create exclusive yet environmentally friendly business cards, Pixartprinting has a choice of three different types of recycled paper.Folded Business Cards – stand out with these business cards that give you double the space to customise and introduce yourself and your brand in style.You can choose from various paper types with optional finishes for a soft yet striking effect.
