    We want to help audiences search, collate and discover all the best content out there.
    We want to honour the rich history of public service broadcasting by making it easy to watch live TV, as well as lead the way when it comes to newer viewing habits. That includes streaming on demand, aggregating content, and harnessing the power of Internet Service providers to help our vision.

    Our remarkable team of in-house technologists are the facilitators making it possible for you to watch the TV you love. These ever-evolving experts move with agility and collaborate with intent to give the nation an effortless viewing experience through our product.

    YouView is an on-demand TV service with over 70 live digital channels. It seamlessly combines seven day catchup on BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4 and Demand 5 with a library of on demand television programmes, films and radio. A range of quality content is available via on demand players from Netflix, Now TV, Milkshake!, UKTV Play, STV and S4C. YouView has record, pause and rewind TV functionality as well as a simple search and more.

    Our social, supportive team is made up of the brightest minds available, in a truly dynamic business with clear growth and development potential.

    YouView launched in summer 2012, brought BT Sport over IP in 2013, an upgrade to 4k and the launch of Netflix in 2014, partnered with Sony to offer the UI for its TVs in 2015 and brought the first UHD device to the UK. YouView launched a major upgrade to its underlying platform in 2017 with an award-winning UI in the UK with a powerful cloud back office providing new data and insights into how consumers watch and find TV. It recently announced the launch of Amazon Prime with BT and the arrival of Sky Atlantic in early 2019.

    YouView continues to innovate and is working with the BBC to trial a UHD version of BBC iPlayer. YouView has won a number of major industry awards including Advanced TV Innovation of the Year at the 2017 Content Innovation Awards and Best Platform at the annual T3 Awards and most recently winner of the National Technology Awards for TV, Film and Broadcasting Technology of the Year.
