I am currently overseas and using a dedicated Foxsat HD STB at my UK residence with a Slingbox Solo to remotely view UK TV.
It has always worked fine; as did the BBC and ITV on-board players.
Just recently, the BBC Iplayer (channel 901) still displays "press red" and when I do press red, it displays "loading" then only a back screen forever. The player never loads. If I press exit from the black screen, it reverts to the "press red" screen; so the box has not hung.
The ITV player still works fine. So it's not an internet connection issue.
I can also power cycle my router and the STB remotely from anywhere by sending a text message to a bespoke SMS controller. So, I have rebooted. No difference.
Any ideas? It looks like a specific issue with the iPlayer with the Foxsat HD as that's the only function not currently working?
