FVP4000T some catchup missing

[Black Hole]

Do you mean ethernet over power aka Powerline or Homeplug?

I presume so. Jeddy: "PoE" means "power over Ethernet", where an Ethernet-connected device gets its power through the Ethernet cable (typically at something like 48V I think, so the amps aren't too high). That's not the same as Ethernet over powerline, and I don't think the local link to your router (be that WiFi, cable, or HomePlug) is the source of the problem.

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 connection.

Perhaps it's the only viable way that Jeddy can connect to the internet?

If that is the case then he will probably continue to suffer problems.

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 catch-up information and get No prog info for past programs. I don't understand how I can have good enough internet to be able to watch HD programs but not good enough to load catch-up information.
Trying 4OD, it loads, but then seemed to hang while I pressed assorted buttons to navigate it after about 30secs it seemed to catch up with all the button presses. Trying to watch 'Dispatches' again hung.
Decided to delete a load of progs in the schedule with no upcoming episodes and now catch-up information is displaying again...
