I can add myself to the list of those who are now experiencing the iPlayer content download problem AND the YouTube connection problem. Is there a separate thread for the YouTube problem? To quote from an earlier message in this thread:
YouTube through my box sometimes gives "you are being directed to youtube.com" and then shows 12 grey boxes. Sometimes, YouTube works fine.
Me too (sounds like a hashtag) i.e. iPlayer circles when trying to play the programme and youtube tries to redirect to youtube.com with the grey boxes.
In my case the receiver is an HB-1100S. The problems started about a week ago, after I restarted the box. Strangely, I had reset it a few times in the last couple of months to try to sort out a network problem.
I've tried doing a factory reset, but that doesn't change anything.
Strangely, the software update date is 18 August 2018. That doesn't make sense if the problem has been due to a recent software update.
The problem is very unlikely to have been caused by a software update on the boxes as it simultaneously affected multiple different boxes. What will have happened is a software update at either the BBC or Humax - if it was at Humax then that is appalling because it shows it wasn't properly tested and then when discovered wasn't rolled back immediately.
The above doesn't of course mean that any fix won't involve the updating of box software.
