I see what someone means about not all the episodes being there, only seems to have a few days catch-up whereas if looking on a computer, there is much more. Is the box using Humax’s own servers or something instead of just putting everything that the players have up.
Presumably depends on agreements negotiated between Freesat and the various content owners (BBC, ITV, 4oD, etc). On top of which, ultimately it’s always going to be down to the content owner what content is made available through the various players.
See http://www.itv.com/terms/itvplayer/itv-player-freesat for the ITV-Player-for-Freesat T&C for users.

I connected my humax directly to my router with a long ethernet cable last night – I did wonder if power line networking might be affected by poor wiring – but it made zero difference. On demand was completely nonfunctioning as was 901.
Go into Settings then My Network Connection, see if you have an ip address
If not, make sure your router is set to be a DHCP host, if it works with everything else, it will be unless you chose fixed ip addresses when you set up your network.
The humax box has a fixed IP address. The router is not a DHCP server but I do have one connected to the network. The humax box says it’s connected via ethernet etc…
I’ve zero problems with everything else. Well, nothing other than minor configuration issues that slow stuff down.
My DHCP server is fine with the static IP address but I’ll review it later.
I am not sure you can give the box a fixed IP address.
So when you say fixed IP address, are you saying that you have put a reservation in the DHCP server or have somehow set the box to Fixed.
Have a look into your network settings in the system information.
Does it say DHCP and what is the ip address, has it got one.

The unit can be set to a fixed IP but an address reservation on your router is a better way.
The unit will offer a fixed setting only if it is unable to obtain one via DHCP. Turn off the DHCP server and select “connect automatically”.
If 901 does not function, then it suggests you do not have internet connectivity. Can you ping the unit from your LAN? If so check the DNS and gateway settings.
