Package repository down?

Attempts to check for package updates today get the error message "!! ERROR - No network connectivity to package repository !!
Check your Internet connection and DNS service and then try again."

The browser I was using has been happily connecting to the net all day, including in other tabs at the time I got the error. So have other browsers and net programs I use. I even tried changing to other DNS servers to no effect.

Ideas?
 
The package repository at https://hpkg.tv/packages.html is working for me.
Remember when using the webif to upgrade packages it is the Humax that is attempting to connect to the repository and not your browser.
Try connecting to the Humax with telnet or command line option on Diag webif page and try
Code: 
ping -w 3 hpkg.tv
opkg update
opkg uprade

Problem solved: I belatedly remembered that we had a power cut yesterday and my guess is that both my boxes were able to restart quicker than the router when power was restored, and so found no net connection. I'm guessing that this set some flag which prevented retries. A hard reboot fixed it.
