JamesB – I rather think (and hope) he will not need to do it again. It may be necessary to do one more connect automatically however.
Why, what is your theory?

I rather think it is a flag that is set and once set will stay set until a connection fails. Time will tell. It would explain why some, like me, never experienced a problem.
It is also the case the several of those not having the problem (at least for the majority of time), connected at all sorts of times as they were not away in a remote office all day.

Do you have a theory as to what would cause such a flag to be set?
As far as I can see, nothing anyone has tried seems to have worked. The problem seems to me to have been resolved by changes at Freesat’s end. Boxes that are still poorly may have some additional factors such as user environment.

Evillor and Eric have either of you read my post and actually tried what I suggested ?
http://myhumax.org/forum/topic/help-unable-to-use-ondemand-or-showcase/page/41#post-30889
If you have, common courtesy suggests you should respond with some sort of answer.
If you still have issues that’s fine but frankly you should both not ignore previous posts. How can anyone help if either of you ignore previous posts, and actually test the suggested solution ?
As far as I can judge the problem is resolved, if it is not for you, then please post if you have tried the suggested fix.
I tried that fix, no joy.
Just had the problem on my mums box, she has no internet for a while and only realy watches tv so she did not notice. Was fustrated so i tried the following that fixed it.
– Had it connected to sat feeds and ethernet internet connection.
– factory reset stb.
– leave stb on tv for 1 hour.
– turn stb off by plug and on again.
– left stb on tv for 10 mins.
Fixed.
Dont know if all the steps above are needed think the first 3 are important. Im sure Freesat will not let this kind of issue happen again!
A flag could be set by an interaction between the firmware and freesat’s servers. Perhaps ‘connect automatically’ retries it and a power cycle clears it? Just speculation after seeing freesats list of how to solve the problem.
User environment should not be a problem for anyone who can play IPlayer programmes.
Wait and see.
Quote:A flag could be set by an interaction between the firmware and freesat’s servers. Perhaps ‘connect automatically’ retries it and a power cycle clears it? Just speculation after seeing freesats list of how to solve the problem.I got the distinct impression Freesat just put everything on their list that various users had reported trying. Nothing seemed / seems to be consistently successful.
Quote:User environment should not be a problem for anyone who can play IPlayer programmes.Not sure about that. User environment is one variable which differs from user to user and could therefore conceivably be a contributing factor in a mystery problem that affects only a handful of theoretically identical boxes running theoretically identical software interacting in a narrowly prescribed manner with the same servers. Variations in usage being another. But who knows?
Sadly this issue is still not fixed for me. Same classical symptoms as everyone else – right down to the connection claiming to be via my non-existant “BeBox” lol. Done all the stuff, searched for updates, factory reset, powerdown, rinse and repeat…
My software version says 2.02.01 Is this what everyone else has whose boxes are working?

2.02.01 is correct.
I think that BeBox is an abbreviation for Busybox.
According to open source list (well tucked away at the foot of the site) for the HDR-1000S it includes version 1.18.5. It is a major software component.
You did try again the power removal and connect automatically?
You can receive a IPlayer programme on 901?
Yes I did the power-down cycles, along with the connect automatically cycles, several times. Tried a factory reset and did them again. And yes I can get iPlayer on channel 901 and it streams nicely.
On Demand was working when we first set up the box, perhaps a month or so ago I think?

Bebox is what Be used to call their router – regardless of the make. I’ve always assumed Humax were using it in the same generic sense, perhaps intending to come back eventually and replace it with the ID of the actual router found. ICBW
I would send freesat another email.

I would send freesat another email.
I sent Freesat an email detailing the problems I was having (posted earlier in this thread). The reply is…
“Thank you for your email.
We appreciate your feedback with regards to the recent firmware update, I will pass this over to our development team who will then take this under advisement which may result in changes to the firmware on future updates.”
I have sent an email to Humax about a refund or enchange for the 1010s box that I have.
Turning off the power for a minute,then turning on and pressing exit on start up makes the box connect to the internet and On Demand. That’s fine but I should not have to do this every time I want On Demand.

You have done this more than twice?
