    Is anyone else having streaming problems with the 'All 4' on-demand app?

    On an HDR-1000S, I get severe blocking and no sound (picture basically unwatchable) once the programme itself has started, the preceding ads are ok as is navigating through the app etc.

    I have 8 Mbit/s adsl broadband, wired, and I don't think that's the problem as the other catch-up services are fine.

    Suspect your broadband is the issue. No problems with my 50Mbps service. Try pausing for 5-10 minutes to allow the box to build up some bufferered content.

    Yep, tried that but to no avail. I think this problem appeared after the rebrand to 'All 4' a short time ago.

    Working very well here, in fact I was quite impressed. I seldom use C4 catchup, preferring to record and skip the ads, so I was pleasantly surprised. Apart from the lack of subtitles, that is.

    ADSL2 from PlusNet.

    Tried some more content tonight with no problems. Is your HDR1000S hardwired to the router ?

    Yes, it is

    Can you test the download speed using a laptop to see what it actually is using the connection you use for the HDR. Just because they say (up to) 8Mbps it doesn't mean you actually get that.

    Done this already, I get just under 8 Mbps, disconnecting the ethernet cable from the TV and putting straight into a laptop. I don't think this is about broadband delivery. All other catch-up services work fine on the STB.

    As no one else has reported the issue it seems unlikely to be a box problem. Can you borrow a friends dish and net connections to see if they are repeatable somewhere else ?
