This is frustrating.
My HDR1000S is connected to my ADSL router via RJ45, link up/up. It seems to not want to pick up an IP address via DHCP from the router (don’t know why – every other device on my network is fine)…
So, I enter a static/manual IP address with correct default gateway & DNS settings… But it fails to keep the settings, therefore, I cannot see anything via “On Demand”, however, I can stream music from devices on my network.
Effectively, I have no OnDemand, which was the whole point of my shelling out £250!!
Any ideas?
it is 1.00.37… however… I’ve figured it after a LOT of head scratching.
I seemed to have 2 DHCP servers on my network – I turned one off and hey presto, it worked.
However, it seems that the static IP gateway and DNS don’t stick, but I’ve read that this is a known issue but nothing is being done about it… useful!!
My ancient Netgear router allows me to allocate a particular IP address to a particular device based on the MAC address. Might be worth checking the docs for your router. Every time the Humax comes up it gets the same IP address.
