I came on here to say about the same issue, happens with every.single.program. Then if i try to quit then go back in, i have to rewatch ads, im not sitting around to watch 5 mins of ads before i can get back to my program.
anyone know a fix for this yet?
You don't mention which ISP or location. It would also help for those outside the UK if Corrigap confirmed the name of the new smart DNS that works.
I've recently watched a lot of 'All4' on a hb1000s and also fvp4000t and all without any problems on a 3Mbps plusnet internet connection.
There seems to be at least two different problems. The first being the smart adverts, a while ago I could not get past a 'premier inn' advert no matter what I did on a you view box, there was something embedded in the advert that caused trouble. This is no different to a web browser not working properly with a particular website where the website is trying to be too clever.
The second problem seems to be DNS and at least two people recently have mentioned Virgin media and seperately also smart DNS services. The smart adverts are trying to access another source for content or feedback and this fails.
Nobody afaik has confirmed that the problem still exists following a proper reboot or that they can watch exactly the same programme and adverts on a different device such as a smart TV at that time. As previously stated, I've watched a significant amount of All4 recently without any problems. From my point of view there's nothing to fix and without others sharing information and coming up with a common denominator I can't see how this can be viewed other than as an intermittent fault
