We do have a very good VPN and a second router with the UK IP loaded permanently which will be used to access the on demand stuff. The current VPN app works for BBC iPlayer on iPads and iPhones extremely well (it’s the 3rd one we have used as the others stopped working eventually, but so far so...
Update 04/05/24. It’s working again.
After a 3-4 day pause, I tried the OK and 0 buttons, then pressed 1, the PVR button flashed and the remote and box now work again. We found an extremely long recording (which seemed to have a start signal, but not a stop one). This was recording when the...
We have a number of recordings which are impossible to access now that the box doesn’t respond to any commands from the remote control. I tried an older remote too and found the same lack of response. Hence my original question. The box itself has no buttons which allow the selection of MEDIA to...
Unfortunately, it didn’t work. The button showed red, but there was no message on the TV and only the standby button switches on the receiver. It won’t even switch it off again.
I will try taking it to a repair cafe, perhaps the IR receiver in the box can be exchanged, if not it will be sent for...
Is there any way to access the MEDIA button on the box itself? The remote control seems to have stopped working for anything except turning the box on, it won’t even turn it off. I have a second older remote and it’s the same thing. Perhaps time to invest in a new Freesat box?
Strange then that with modified primary and secondary DNS settings on my iPad I can access the BBC iPlayer and bbc.co.uk with StrongDNS, but only bbc.com if I use the DNS settings applied by the router automatically. The same is true for XBox.
I’ve read that if you disable the DHCP on the...
We’ve just bought a Humax HDR1100S having had an older Humax PVR for about 13 years or so. One reason was to access On Demand services which are no longer supported by the old PVR. Is there any way to change the DNS settings for the WiFi connection? On XBox and PS4 these are easy to modify...
