    Sorry.

    I wondered why my "On Demand" menu option doesn't work, but with further perusal of the forum I found that it is a very common issue with no cure.

    I have no idea where you got this from. It works fine on my HDR-1000S

    @UKLarry666 - This unreliable On-Demand issue is something that we have to live with. Your case sounds worse than mine in so far as my Humax On-Demand works 85% of the time. It seems to depend on the individual boxes and I don't think there is a fix.

    This is where I got it from Graham, another thread on My Humax.

    Normally a network setup issue.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/networking/tcpip-addressing-and-subnetting.

    My box is connected by a network cable. I would buy a long cat 7 flat cable. Connect the box network port to a unused port on you router network switch. My router is a 4th bedroom directly over the lounge kit. To trouble shhot turn off WiFi on the box. Connect the cable if that works, replace the cable with a pair of homeplug adaptors. That is how my HDR-1000S is currently connected.

    I spent a lot of time on Sunday trying everything that had been suggested. Resetting the box, resetting the router, disconnecting and reconnecting the Ethernet cable (It's always been hardwired). All I got was the same message that On Demand would be there in a minute.

    Gave up, watched TV, went to bed.

    This morning it's working, On Demand apps are there and working, Showcase is working, "Earlier" is available and I get the watch from start logo appearing.

    Thanks to everyone who helped, fingers crossed it stays that way.
