    I have recently been trying to watch some on demand content using the channel 5 player on the 1000S. The player stops and starts all the time and often just gives up and starts the program all over again. Most frustrating thing is that the adverts play absolutely fine and you see them plenty of times when it keeps going back to the beginning of the program!

    I have a 77mb down link fibre BB connection, so internet speed is not an issue, BBC iPlayer works fine in HD and the same content works fine on a PC or using the player that is built in to the TV.

    Any ideas anyone or is it that the 5OD player just broken on the 1000S?
