Factory Reset

Reset restores your YouView box to its original factory settings (the way it was when you bought it). This will delete all your recordings, and put all settings back to their default values. You won't be able to get these back. You'll also need to go through the setup process again.

  1. To perform a Factory Reset, press the YouView button on your remote control and go to Settings > Device Management > Reset YouView Box.
  2. Choose ‘Yes’ and you’ll get a warning message.
  3. Press OK to continue, or Back to cancel.
  4. If you choose to reset, your set top box will restart and once this is complete, all your recordings and settings will have been removed, and the setup wizard will begin automatically.
