    Same here regarding YouTube. It's still not working on my HDR-1100S either.

    iPlayer now working for me - also works from backwards EPG. Tested BBC Sounds for first time and that works too - but unable to skip backwards or play from beginning (live broadcast) unlike the iOS App. Can listen from beginning on archived material.
    FYI iPlayer version 4.1.1 9 October at 12:48:53
    YouTube still not working (redirect to YouTube.com with blank icons)

    Nearly but not quite there yet
    Not tested sounds on either box (I always use my phone or tablet and headphones).

    Graham, re the programme information on the backwards EPG, that looks like a separate issue specific to you. I have had no problems with it at any time during the iPlayer outage. In fact almost all of the many tests I have done have been by scrolling back into it and selecting a programme to view with On Demand.

    It might be worthwhile for you to investigate the possible solution I highlighted back in Post 47 of this thread. I was having loads of problems with the backward EPG disappearing, but it all stopped when I used that solution suggested by somebody else at that time well over a year ago. It has been faultless ever since then.

    The solution you gave in that previous thread was to change the DNS servers (not DHCP) on your router, it would seem likely that the domain name of the backward EPG was not on the DNS servers originally set in your router. It could well be that the previous DNS servers would now work but if all is well anyway then no probs.

    The same thing could be affecting Graham, the only way to find out would be for him to change his DNS addresses (amongst others, Google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 should work).

    On my Archer/TP-Link router, the settings I changed were the primary and secondary DNS values in a column headed "DHCP Server".

    Going to do that as soon as the better half has watched the recording in the Kitchen that is streaming from the Freesat box.

    Need some help here. Tried choosing the manual option rather than DHCP. When I enter the google dns server settings the apply button cannot be accessed.

    Do I have to do this on the router directly ? I have a nighthawk router with the Virgin router set to modem mode.

    Hi All
    I note some devices are now working. My HDR200T now displays under maintenance when I hit the iplayer App, so not even getting into iplayer at all as before. Anyone in the same situation.
    Thanks

    Graham: I have a recollection that you can only change the DNS settings on the box itself when you are connected by Ethernet, not by WiFi. That could the reason the apply button cannot be accessed.

    I cannot comment on your specific router as I know nothing about it.
