NVidia Shield using Express VPN on router and local app working. All services apart from My5
Humax box not working on any catch-up. All failing.
Where is the Humax located (in the UK or elsewhere)?
It's located in Rep of Ireland. It's possibly a case of Mr Humax leaking location somehow but because it has Toy like settings there probably nothing that will work. Its grand. I have an Amazon Fire TV that works fine.

Very likely, but remember that the Humax box is not a FTA satellite box but a UK Freesat box. Freesat undoubtedly have an agreement with their EPG members (the broadcasters) that they will not "leak" channels outside of the UK. So why would they support a VPN connection. You might try a DNS service provider who will allocate you a UK address. You will need a special router to support that. I'm not up to speed on the details of that but I know of users in Germany employing this method where a VPN failed.
Pollensa1946 - Most routers will handle this, at least for the DHCP pool. However it can de set directly on the Humax.
Firstly disable DHCP on the router and reboot it. Then go into settings network and choose connect automatically, wait for the DHCP to time out, (quite long). Then you will be offered manual settings. Enter them then you can re-enable DHCP on the router.
It would appear that the BBC is collecting VPN address to block. I used to use a smart DNS server and would choose this as no overhead with encrypt/decrypt and most offer a short trail so that you can verify it works for you.
Hi
I have an HDR 1000s and this week all bbc online apps won’t load (just a black screen) all other online apps work well. Have tried rolling back to the 3.00.94 software and factory reset but still no joy. I am using a Samsung tv via hdmi. Any thoughts?
