Any way to completely disable Youview?

[maethorechannen]

Is there any way to completely disable Youview so that the apps that rely on Youview to function disappear from the featured apps list? Having those apps in that list has caused no end of confusion in our household with missed recordings and broken satellite ability. I'm wondering if going through the initial setup but telling it I'm in Ireland would do it (though I'm guessing that would cause other complications).

YVservicehost doesn't exist on 2020 XH models?....Just "LiveTv and Catchup" App... See a couple of posts up 👆

I've reported the problem to the BBC iPlayer people.... I'll report back here when/if  I hear anything.

With the latest pie update if you remove sony select as a channel it does not re appear after a soft re boot, meaning less chance of re activating youview through using ITV or ch4 app in the select row
