YouView is a smart TV set-top box platform in the United Kingdom, developed by a partnership of three telecommunications operators and four broadcasters. It was formed from a project originally titled "Project Canvas", which was rebranded as YouView in September 2010. The service was due to launch by the end of that year, but was delayed until 4 July 2012. At its launch, YouView's then-Chairman Alan Sugar stated his ambition for the service to replace Freeview devices. YouView provides access to free-to-air Digital Terrestrial Television channels (both DTT and DVB-T2 channels in common with the Freeview television platform) and to TV on demand (catch-up TV) services via a 'hybrid' set-top box purchased by users, connected with both a broadband Internet connection and a normal television aerial. No contract is required, and there is no subscription charge. Catch-up and on-demand content is delivered over the Internet, which may be chargeable by the Internet service provider (ISP) or subject to limits and fair usage clauses. BT and TalkTalk have each partnered with YouView, allowing BT TV and TalkTalk Plus TV customers to access the service, along with BT's and TalkTalk's own offerings. Both companies provide customers with their own branded YouView set-top box. ==YouView content== The YouView hardware is a Digital Terrestrial Television DVB-T2 HD box that provides viewing and recording of all free-to-air standard-definition channels available on digital terrestrial television in the United Kingdom. There is no access to channels provided by Vision TV Network, as YouView lacks support for the MHEG-5 Integration Channel used by these channels to provide them over IP. Additional content is provided over a broadband connection and can be accessed via the EPG, with a search function. there were six TV players available providing access to TV programmes and films. The on-demand players available are BBC iPlayer (free), 4oD (free), ITV Player (free, ITV plc owned regions and UTV region) and STV Player (free, STV Group owned regions),〔http://www.dtg.org.uk/news/news.php?id=4464〕 Demand 5 (free), ''Milkshake!''
