Watching recordings on mini hub

StevieR12 — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 11:10:40 GMT

I am new to BT/EE. Just got a Pro Hub & a mini hub.
I know I can’t record on the mini hub but assumed I would be able to watch recordings I have made on the pro hub. However, I cannot see any of the recordings when I go to My TV on the mini hub

Is Viewing not possible or am I doing something wrong?

Recordings can only be watched on the TV Box Pro. They cannot be shared with any other devices.

Thanks for confirming that.

BT/EE is the only service currently on offer where we have moved to. Beginning to regret signing up.

Broadband is great but TV leaves much to be desired compared to other providers. 🙁

You made the same mistake as most others in thinking EE is a Sky alternative..you now know there's no comparison.

The EE extra box is pretty pointless and vastly inferior to your bog standard streaming stick

We moved from Virgin rather than Sky but also a better offering. Would have stayed with Virgin but as I said, no other options currently available. I was aware of many of the limitations but did assume we would be able to watch recordings on other boxes. Not the end of the world.

Alternatively you could buy a brand new pro box on eBay or Cex for around £80.

The pro box is fundamentally a freeview recorder and works perfectly without a subscription.

With what you'll save on muti room it'll soon pay for itself

@Kodikid that of course relies on there being a TV aerial. With a subscription, the channels can be supplied via broadband.

Sky TV is always available as an option over any broadband provider, if EE TV isn't meeting your needs.

He already has a subscription

I was talking about a direct replacement for his current mini hub.

Also as Freely advances the need for an aerial will decrease

As EE tv is officially the most complained about tv service it looks like it doesn't meet most people's needs

"officially" @Kodikid ?

Did I miss a report somewhere?

Apparently so

Ofcom data last quarter 25 early 2026

Look it up

The complaints data is per 100,000 customers so 3 per 100,000 customers could be the same amount as 6 per 100,000 customers as more numbers to dilute.....

Yeah not getting your point

All isp's service satisfaction was monitored

EE finished bottom

Having dealt with BT broadband and EE mobile for many years I have to admit to not being surprised

Unbelievably Sky came first

@Kodikid Are you suggesting that as I have a BT/EE subscription, I could buy a box privately and it would allow me to access all my subscribed channels and recordings (no matter which box the recording was scheduled on)

Sadly no

The pro box is a freeview recorder

You'll have to use it as a standalone device

So You'll have to set both individually to record
