EE UK Adds YouTube App for TV Box Pro and TV Box Mini Users
Broadband ISP and mobile operator EE (BT) has today announced that UK customers of their internet-connected pay TV service can now, finally, gain access to the YouTube App on their TV Box Pro and TV Box Mini set-top-box hardware.
The long overdue app can be found from the Featured Apps rail, where it will sit alongside other streaming and entertainment apps such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, NOW and Apple TV+. EE TV customers will also be able to sign up to YouTube Premium and YouTube Primetime Channels through the YouTube app on their TV Box Pro and TV Box Mini devices.
Alistair Wilson, EE’s Partnerships Director, said: “Our new EE TV service offers customers access to the widest choice of the very best TV shows, films and sport available, as we look to provide them with access to the content they love. YouTube is the latest partner of ours, and we’re sure that with its the vast library of video and music content now easily accessible via the service, it will prove really popular with customers.”

Admittedly, the YouTube app is about as common as water for most modern set-top-boxes, TVs, Smartphones, computers and various other devices. As such the fact that EE finally got around to adding it, over half a year on from EE TV’s official launch, probably won’t be greeted with too much fanfare. But all the same, it’s nice to have the option.

Triallists were asking for it 2 years ago. Better late than never
Seeing as it comes on just about every smart TV out there it’s of limited appeal anyway.
“As such the fact that EE finally got around to adding it”
EE/BT can only add an app when the supplier has built it….so blame Google not EE/BT
