Greetings,
I currently have a HDR 1100s Freesat+ STB, its all setup etc however On Demand Apps do not show, it comes up with an error or rather the information “This should take less than 1 minute so please try again shortly”
I’ve tried again in a short while but still the same. STB is connected to WiFi, factory reset does not resolve this. Help much appreciated.
If you pres right and move right and left do you see the app names. ie it’s just the icons missing
In settings network connection Have you got a a IP address. Using a PC open a command window. Type ping your ip adddress enter.
Do you get a reply ?
Welcome to our forum.
Thanks for your prompt reply, i get no icons and then info that on demand is not available. The STB has an IP address however no response from ping , which is weird because it shows up in a network scan and is in the arp cache table in the router.

If you login to your router setup. Does the box have a device with the IP address allocated to the box MAC address ? It might be just poor wireless reception. Can you run a temporary network cable to the router network switch ?
I can confirm the MAC address matches that in the cache table. Network cable would be the next step, i’ll let you know what happens.
ok so hardwired cured this problem bizarrely. The WiFi access point is only 5 meters away.
Looks like I spoke too soon, Netflix will not load once selected, any ideas?

A couple of home plugs should work especially over such a short distance.
Prefer not to use those, especially when the access point is only in the next room. Ill get better speed hard wired, think there may be an issue with the security of the wifi, anyone know what encryption type is preferred/supported with this stb?

Flat network cable is easy to hide if you have fitted carpets. not so easy with hard floors
You will easily get 100Mbps if the sockets are on the same ring main which seems likely.
I have a pair of basic home plugs connected to a network switch behind my smart TV and a Foxsat-HDR with the custom firmware with a three connection network switch. On the same wall a fireplace makes it hard to run a network cable. At the other end of the lounge where pretty well all my kit is located in a rack I have a single cat 5 through the wall routed behind a drain pipe up into the loft and connected to my router network switch upstairs in my study/ 4th bedroom. Behind the kit rack in the lounge I have a 10 input network switch connected to the single uplift cable to my router. This provides internet/local network access for :
A Humax FVP-5000T
A HUmax HDR-1000s
A Amazon prime Fire TV box
two Humax HDR-Fox-T2 pvrs.
A LG smart Blu-ray
player
A Amazon Prime TV box
A Yamaha AV receiver.
All this uses just one cAt 5 cable.
Upstairs a Vbox IP live TV IP server connects to the WiFi Server router network switch providing live Freeview TV to WiFi mobile connected devices and directly connected devices like my Blu-ray playe, like my Grandsons Xbox. His TV has no aerial connection and the X-Box connects via WiFi. The Vbox can record multiple channels to a usb drive.
The only thing the the two home plugs do is bridge the gap across the lounge. It works flawlessly.
My laptop has no ethernet socket, a usb to ethernet adaptor and a 3rd identical home plug is handy when you need the laptop to login to the Virgin Router which is in modem mode. A separate dual band router provides greatly extended WiFi coverage. Home plugs basically only have speed problems if they have to connect to different kit on different ring mains ie via the the consumer unit. which does reduce the speed capability.
The two home plugs merely plug a hole that’s hard to fill with due to an obstruction.
