Thanks, DNSMasq is beyond the limit of my knowledge (although I obviously understand what you are talking about with a DNS cache) so I'll bow down to yours. For now, so long as others are using OpenDNS I have no concerns with trying that for starters. If it works then maybe I'll have nother look...
Random guess, but I wonder if that is related to something being stored relating to logons on the various players? Maybe if I use BBC, ITV, etc. catch-up today, then clear cookies (and possibly repeat) whether that may speed up the process of gaining a reliable catch-up.
I had to ReApply the Network settings to get it to pick up the change, but yes, the updated DNSs are now showing. Thanks for asking or I wouldn't have realised that they hadn't!
Cool - that wasn't too bad, now trying OpenDNS - I actually quite like the idea of Quad9 / OpenDNS which is why I played around with Quad9 in the past - they seem to provide additional protection from the bad guys out there, so quite happy to update the router DNS to protect all my devices. Time...
Thanks, I know some time ago (no doubt with a previous router) I played around with DNS and Quad9 in particular, OpenDNS appears to be very similar to that (from an end user perspective). However my next challenge becomes trying to change (or even find) the DNS on my Huawei B535-232 - but that's...
Just a few days later and I've had to delete cookies again.
Anyone any thoughts as to what is going on? Is it perhaps related to my region sending out duff info if few others are having this problem?
As an aside, I didn't have to login to iPlayer again after I deleted cookies.
It'd be interesting to find out whether performing a System Reset (without formatting the hard drive) does clear cookies. No doubt if clearing cookies does fix his problem that'll give us the answer. In which case I suspect that'll become almost a first thing to try to fix loads of problems...
Well that was interesting!
For ages now I've had no access to programs on demand (if that's the right term), i.e. if I go to the EPG and go left I just get 'no program information'. Annoying but not the end of the world as I could still access the programs more painfully through the players...
When I start watching something in iPlayer I now always seem to get an trailer for a random program, but iPlayer suggests I can skip watching that trailer if I press what looks like a next chapter button. Any thoughts which that is on my remote

Cheers trog! I had wondered.
Yes, 9 seems like a very odd number, but then this is 2020!
The TV guides (or at least the one we buy) always annoy for BBC4 which never indicates anything is a repeat when they have sometimes been on other channels.
Sometimes what I've done is record a program...
You are right that next week is a straight repeat - the TV Guides indicate that, there is no problem with that. I've not watched this weeks yet - it didn't record! I'd have to go to iPlayer to do that and I've not done so yet.
I guess when one has a series setup and 9 recod without problem and...
Their compilations really annoy me, you start watching a program and keep thinking I've seen this before but it's not indicated as a repeat, eventually they show something which you are certain you've seen and realise it is nothing more than a compilation. If this week was a compilation that...
trog and Black Hole gave me an idea, looking at https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b08l581p/the-repair-shop it looks like we have been watching series 6, except this Weds instead of being Series 6: Episode 10 for some reason best known to themselves it is 60-Minute Versions: Episode 32 first...
Is there a problem with series links or is it just my box?
The other day the 4000T decided that it wasn't going to continue to record the latest series of The Repair Shop (BBC1 9th 20:00)
Last week it decided that it would record the first Motor Pickers (Quest 3rd 22:00) but not the second one...
This doesn't make much sense to me. Right now (12:10 Sat p.m.) I can use iplayer to get to 'RHS Chelsea Flower Show' and am able to start watching. The live 'The Good Dinosaur' I can't access, it just hang before it starts, 'Normal People' I can start watching. Going back to the EPG I have no...
Sorry, I got my terminology wrong! I meant ethernet over power (e.g. homeplug). And yes, 4G is my only option. Curiously I can watch HD progs on iplayer on my laptop over the same WiFi at the same time as I get No Programme Information from the FVP 10' away from me which shows it has an Internet...
