I've been out all day Graham, so couldn't try your prog. Will hopefully get a chance sometime tomorrow. Got to run wife and her friend somewhere first to spend some of my money.

Right Graham, Now had an opportunity to watch George Clarke episode. First off, those sheds are just fantastic, totally amazing. Now the programme - played without issue. Went back to play an episode of 24 hours in A&E and this time didn't even get as far as the programme.
Ads broke up and froze into grey green and purple blocks almost straight away. Tried it with Chromecast, same episode, no issue. I don't know whose to blame but the bottom line is if you can't rely on the Humax playing the media you aren't going to use it. Nothing worse than part watching a programme then having to start again with another device, because with something like All4 you can't skip the ads.

I was wondering if it might be a router issue, seems not.
Check out the rotating shed in episode 1
If repeatable someone should report issue to Channel 4.

Watching 24 Hours in A&E Series 10 Episode 35. Seamless video after first ads. No issues at all.
EDIT
Programme played to end without problems. Obvious question is this episode a problem ?

There are that many I don't know which is which if I'm being honest. Give me a clue what the one you watched was about as I can't remember the episode now.

Just been back to the Humax and tried again Graham - it was the same episode Series 10 Episode 35. This time the episode started without issue and went as far as the first ad break. However, when it gets the the Mitsubishi intro to restart the programme that's when the picture freeze and breakup starts again.
I was unable to get past that point. I then pressed return and saw the resume icon and thought that sounds promising. However, pressing resume on the All4 app simply takes me back to the beginning. As I've said previously this particular box has been dogged by C4 All4 streaming issues from day one and it's the only player I ever have issues with. I will stick to Chromecast from now on as I know that works every time.

Be interested to know if anyone else with the same issue has the same router.

Well it's a BT HH5 as a point of interest. However, I had the same issue previously using the Apple Airport Extreme so I can't see this being a router issue.

Hi barkside,
your question seems to have been hijacked to discuss other All4 problems.
I have the same problem as you do, everything else about All4 with my Humax HDR-1100S works as well as can be hoped for, especially as I only have 2.3Mb bandwidth, except the resume. I see resume on the thumbnail and yet it only sometimes works. I have noticed that it fails when it first asks about "over 18" and Terms of Use, however it works fine with programs where it can go straight in...it just asks whether to "Play from Start" or "Resume Play".
If I can find somewhere to report All4 App problems I will do so.
Edit: I see the same behaviour on my Roku 2.
