Are you able to temporarily move the YouView box nearer to your router so you can complete the setup with it plugged directly into the router with an Ethernet cable? Apps also are only occasionally updated, normally included in software update/not sure why they do a separate menu for app updates. It is also applicable to the similar looking 4K Ultra HD BT YouView boxes (DTR-T4000) which have a 1TB hard drive fitted. Great to find someone on the internet who knows what they are doing and is spot on with instructions.

One other thing to note, my HDD was held in place by not only the screws but also a very sticky foam pad.versions of the Western Digital drives are available along with Toshiba’s AV drives which were sometimes fitted, including to the 1Tb Ultra-HD 4K YouView boxes.
