Hi all,
Been having exact same probs as everyone and have latest 'apology' screen. Decided I would wait no longer.
Researched other TV devices. Bought Roku Premiere in local tesco yesterday, £39. (Maybe cheaper elsewhere) Everything you need in box, if you have HD compatible TV, with hdmi input.Yes, another cost but my stress/frustration with Humax now gone! Enjoying all I can eat YouTube, My5, All 4 and loads of others.1st 2 things I noticed was processing/loading speed and definition on some channels, which made me realise how quickly our tech gets old.
A word of warning to anyone that follows same path. The Roku set up is easy, some done on screen with remote...but the rest done with a browser. IF YOU FOLLOW THE URL DIRECTED FROM ON SCREEN, you will have to enter name, address and credit card/ PayPal details...it's mandatory.
However, note 4 character code they give you on screen and on your browser go to https://myroku.com/signup/nocc
It worked perfectly for me.
As always, your online security is your responsibility. Therefore, don't take my word for it...Google it yourselves.
For anyone on the forum that feels angered that my post did not solve their Humax problem, then I apologise and respect your opinions.I will keep my HDR1100S for now for recordings, and hope a remedy is found soon.
If my post helped just 1 person with their Roku set up, then I'll be happy.As I said, my Youtube/ on demand problem is now over!
Best of luck everyone. x| Fri 23 Oct 2020 20:40:22 #124 | -

Best of luck everyone. xAnother post. Many of us have other kit already that we know works. No way of knowing if you may have already got non humax kit that still works.
So without knowing what you already had ?
How can this help other members who may already have other ways of using other than humax kit of accessing youtube
So another post that is off topic.
There are lots of ways of still viewing Youtube I have, still working.
I could list them if it helps.
Not really much help in this thread had you read the previous posts in this thread you would have known you might have been able to solve this at zero cost without buying new hardware.
So sorry not really much help here.
If you post what actual hardware you have and mobile devices, it's likely you could have fixed this already.

A small change this morning using HDR-1000S. Opening Youtube brings up a message
We are aware of a problem etc. FVP-500T still the same redirects to Youtube.COM resulting in the grey screen.

Thanks, that was helpful. I read another post of someone using a google chromecast gaget, so it is useful to know that there are cheap alternatives available just to get Utube working again.Couldnt wait - 12 hours ago »

Guess we'll all just have to wait. Does anyone know if this problem can also affect the actual channel numbers? My ITV was 103, with ITV HD on 111, but they've now flipped position? Anyone else noticed this?Yes I noticed the same yesterday

Members are going to have to be patient.
There is a worldwide pandemic currently, and S.Korea more importantly Seoul (Humax Headquarters) saw an increase in cases, so no doubt the engineers are working under some restrictions.So, Humax uk are dependent on people the other side of the planet for a fix to faults in their service!

I have emailed customer service weeks ago on this problem, no reply, more like customer disservice.
