    Hi

    First post here - bought the 5000T two weeks ago. All was working fine until today.

    I cannot get into iPlayer today. Yesterday it was working fine. I've done a factory reset, I've rebooted my router, I've pulled the plug on the machine. Nothing works.

    Can any others users of this machine get onto iPlayer? If so, I may consider getting a replacement as the unit is only two weeks old

    Thanks

    What exactly do you mean by "can't get into iPlayer"?
    Do you mean that the iPlayer icon is missing from the bottom of the home page?
    Is iPlayer available in the 'players' section on the top of the home page?
    Or do you mean that selecting the iPlayer results in nothing happening?

    Either way, try deleting cookies and see what happens.

    Hi

    When I select the app, it goes to the loading page and just stays there. Does the same thing from the EPG. Worked fine yesterday.

    Jaeger - so do you mean on your Humax box it's doing the same as mine but straight through your TV (I'm guessing it's a smart TV?) It's ok?

    That suggests a Humax issue?

    Annoying isn't it! I had an old youview Humax box (the 1010 one I think) that gave up the ghost before Xmas. iPlayer was always shocking on it. Used to lock up all the time. I was enjoying using iPlayer on this new box last night. Thought it was amazing to be able to watch for two hours without any issues. Then this issue this morning! So annoying.

    So do we just have to wait for it to be sorted by Humax?

    My My5 is also sometimes problematic but is ok today

    If my memory serves me correctly, there has been changes to how iPlayer works fairly recently (Nov/Dec?). App updated on TV but not on box seems a likely possibility unless my memory is letting me down.
