    In the On Demand part of the menu:
    On the top line (where I would expect to see BBC iPlayer), all the FreeviewPlay Apps are missing being replaced with just blank "FreeviewPlay" place holders.
    On the second and third lines (YouTube, etc), everything is present and correct.

    I wanted to watch the iPlayer and found that I could do by searching using the A-Z search and getting into the iPlayer by a different route. Once I was in the iPlayer, it worked normally and I was able to view iPlayer streams.

    I went back to the On Demand part of the menu and the top line remained empty with just the blank "FreeviewPlay" place holders.

    Any suggestions?

    Working OK here but the first time I tried it today the greyed out boxes took a second or three to populate correctly.

    Happened to me yesterday for the first time. Switched off/on again and all present and correct.

    Since yesterday:
    - powered off/on (by remote and also by mains power)
    - left powered on for ages
    - powered off/on again a few more times

    Unfortunately, it is still the same - the entire top line consists of blank "FreeviewPlay" place holders.

    P.S. - in case it is relevant, I am on the latest v1.02.13 software installed via USB.

    I have the same problem. Switching off and on doesn't help. I think it started in the last week. I am on v1.02.13, auto-installed but I don't know when that happened.

    Clutching at straws, bear with me, but you could try:

    Home
    Settings
    General Settings
    Last option listed - Privacy Policy etc

    Try unticking the 2 boxes , highlight Done press OK.

    Now try On Demand, you should be presented with the Privacy Policy etc again, both options should be 'ticked, and 'Done' highlighted, press OK - see if that makes any difference

    I tried all the above - but no success.
    I then tried a "Smart-retune" this morning - but still the same - the apps were still missing.
    I finally tried a "full-retune" where the box warns me that all my schedules will be deleted as well - and success - it worked!
    I now have the top row full of apps such as BBC iPlayer, ITVplayer etc.
    Thanks for all your suggestions and help.

    A default automatic retune has also solved the problem for me.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi. I just had the same problem. A bit worrying, although still under warranty. Thankfully, for me, switching off at the mains, leaving it for a minute and then switching back on again solved the problem and brought back all the players. So if you have the same problem, it might be worth you trying that first before doing all the more complicated things that others have suggested.
