Mine disappears on a regular basis, only reconnecting with a power reboot.
getting really annoying now!
The cheap Chinese batteries supplied didn’t last long either, must have been for demo purposes…
Do you have an unstable internet connection? My PLAYER icons go blank after an ISP glitch. Oddly, if I click on the blank box where BBC i-player normally shows, it still loads the player!
Hi
I have no problems with my internet I have a computer permanently on and is stable and have 35meg download speed, I’ve tried
LAN and it still does it, since my post and now – guess what! It’s saying
freeview play currently unavailable.
I have a NOW TV box that stays connected to the network.
Maybe I have a faulty unit, but all the apps work when freeview play
fails.
I know this is an old post but I’m one who regularly loses on demand from the guide and the search doesn’t pick up on demand programs.
Cold power off/on fixes the problem every time – temporarily. Anyone come across any fixes or explanations beyond ‘iffy internet’?

One fix that has helped several people is to change the Network settings to use a fixed IP address and set the DNS address to be either your ISP’s DNS server or a third party DNS server. I use OpenDNS which is 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 or Google which is 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. The critical thing is that the DNS address should not be your router.

There is no option to set the wifi connection in this way. To help forum members it would be useful to post a picture of your network status screen and also tell us what type of router you have.
Thanks Graham/Martin. I do tend to fix IP/DNS and use google/quad9 etc whichever takes my whim. I’ll check what currently I’m using.
However, usually (not always admittedly) my network is fine and anyway – if it was a blip, why doesn’t say, the on demand on the guide (ie when you scroll back in time) not recover the information once any network glitch is resolved? Hard power off is the only resolution I’ve found.
(I may not be explaining clearly – I’ll get some pics …
