    Hi there

    I have an HDR-1000S. A few days ago I started getting the error message "Incorrect Link, the link is currently not available" when I try to watch the On Demand channel UKTV.

    I can watch other on demand channels such as Netflix and BBC Iplayer fine so I don't think the internet is the problem. Even so I have rebooted everything and am still getting the same issue.

    I have searched online and there are a couple of instances of this error message but I can't find a fix. Is it an issue at Humax's end?

    Check you don't have parental guidance set on your ISP source.

    I can access adult sites from my laptop etc so I assume there is nothing like that.

    One correction, it's actually a 1010S.

    It could be something to do with the name server your router is using i.e. failing to resolve the URL.

    Can you run a long temporary network cable from the box to the router network switch ?

    Mine is wired via a pair of 300Mbps homeplugs. In the rack is a 16 way 1Gbps network switch so all kit is hard wired via the single homeplug pair.

    I can give it a go but if it's the same on two different wifi networks, I'm not sure that plugging it in directly will do much.
