Yes, thankfully at long last it now works again! Thank you BBC, Freesat and Humax for fixing fault. Please keep the boxes supported. They may not be the current unreliable newer Freesat box that overheats (!), But many users have spent a lot of money purchasing their equipment and stay loyal to Freesat brand. Now back to using my Humax 1100s. Happy viewing! John L

Thank you for those kind words.

Just got this from the Beeb:

Dear  Audience Member 

Thanks for getting in contact with BBC iPlayer Support to report that you have been experiencing some problems watching programmes on iPlayer recently.

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you about this, the investigation has taken longer than anticipated.

A fix has now been released by the BBC iPlayer Product team that will allow you to access iPlayer as expected.

Humax are also working on a new firmware update for the issue.

Thanks again for getting in touch.

Mmmmm I love a good firmware update…

Plus the fault page has updated:
