    Never had a problem with my foxsat hdr until tonight when neither bbc or itv replay services would work after red button stage,just a blank screen. Not froze either and broadband working fine.

    Yes - that's exactly what's been happening to mine (both boxes)- ie blank screen after red button but not frozen. Surely somebody out there must have an answer, even if not a fix?

    Just checked my Foxsat. Iplayer is working OK. Selected content in higher quality loaded near instantly.

    I'm having the same problem as Godzilla. ITV Player was similarly affected for a few days but is now OK (fingers crossed...) Mine seems to have occurred since the channel numbers were reassigned (last week??)

    Also, since then, when changing channels it sometimes happens (about 50 - 60% of the time) that the channel name bar at the bottom of the screen comes up, I get about a second of sound with a black screen, sound goes off for a second or 2 and then both correct picture and sound come on. Sometimes get a second or 2 of a white noise screen before picture and sound come on. Any thoughts??

    After a visit to my local Humax dealer I did as advised by the engineer: unplug the box for an hour or more then switch on again, retune and search for software updates. iplayer loaded OK - albeit slowly and I thought it was fixed. Tried today - still hanging so I'm still without iplayer - shall I give up and buy a cheap Blu-ray player with iplayer?? Someone must have an answer - what about the guys at Humax? Do any of them watch this forum?

    Working for me albeit a tad slow.

    Just tried HIGNFY high quality, not convinced it was high quality though.

    It's now working again on my box. Loaded near instantly. Last time I tried left it 10 minutes and nothing happened.

    Rebooting the Foxsat HDR then rescanning the network fixed the issue for me.
    Cheers, K.

    Thanks all - I'll try the rebooting and rescanning method and report back.
