    Welcome to our Forum :-)

    Just trying 2 different programmes on a HDR 1000S and HB 1000S and they are streaming OK as I type this.

    Does it hang straight away or after a period of time?

    THe App on the my HDR 1100s will hang every 10 mins or so, it did not do this at first, started to watch film last night and it hung twice before the film got going properly… gave up and watched film via Sony App on blue ray player and it played all way through with no issues…. the servers Humax app use must be the slowest as iplayer works fine on everything else I own, see my first post….

    The remote control is also poor and wont turn back from TV so gave up and use tv remote. also difficult to know when the box is on or is its booting, with those hard to see lights underneath the box… looks good but to many niggles….

    How is your unit connected to your network?

    As per my previous 2 units streaming at same time had no issues, indeed I left one of them continually streaming different episodes of a series for over 90 minutes both my units connected to network via powerline.

    I’ll try the HDR 1100S as well this morning.

    Have you considered they might be just too close. Try seperating them. If the router is so close I have to ask why you don’t connect to the router network switch with a cat5 cable ?

    Graham has just asked the same question I was going to :-)

    HDR 1100S connected to iplayer and streaming, so far 10 mins without problem, will leave it streaming episodes as I did on another unit last night.

    Location makes no difference router was in another room up to a couple of weeks ago and I had the same problem of hanging on iplayer…. For the first few months of ownership I did not have this issue and occasionally it works…. Like I have said all other streaming devises on my network have no issues with iplayer… They are also only used one at a time as I live alone.

    I moved the router closer in hope it would help and intend to put it back in other room…

    Should have mentioned HDR 1100S is connected via wifi and as far away from router as possible in my property.

    Still streaming OK.

    What does that prove??

    Iplayer hangs for me and does not on any other streaming devise I own…… and only Iplayer as Netflix, YouTube and other catch up services from this Humax box do not hang, just Iplayer….

    No Just saying that mine hangs and other services work on this box… Iplayer will not recach and eventually get an error message but if I stop it and go straight to “home” “recently played” and resume it will start without issue…..

    My HDR1000S has been exhibiting the same issue for about a month now. I also have iPlayer on my TV and also on a NOWTV box, all next to each other and connected to the same switch connected via WiFi extender to my router. The HDR1000S just freezes after 5-15 minutes and won’t restart itself. If I cancel and replay, it starts again OK, but then freezes again after 5-15 minutes. Rinse and repeat. The other two iPlayer devices work just fine. It doesn’t really bother me as I have alternatives that are OK.

    Hi Hairbear…. Yes that is just the same as mine…. I do find it works at quiet times mornings etc…. and like you all other streaming devises work OK…. When I first got the box it worked fine so they must have down graded their servers Humax BBC or both…..
