    I suppose, like most folk these days, we hardly watch any “live TV” so use the search function quite a bit to find the OnDemand stuff, blah blah blah.

    Only thing is that it’s almost unusable in the evenings with a “connection to broadband may be limited at this time” message. I can’t remember for sure, but I’m sure this has started happening since the latest upgrade to the box software. Just trying it now, it’s fault free, and is working nice and quickly, but later this evening I’m sure it’ll just be the same PITA again. So I guess, it’s a contention ratio thing yes?

    Anybody had something similar and got Sky to do anything to sort them out? I’ve done all the reset router, wireless bridge…except for the dreaded planner rebuild, as a) there’s stuff on there I don’t want to lose and b) I’m pretty sure it won’t do anything to fix what seems like a “too many people in my neighbourhood using Sky” thing. (I’ll be giving Sky a call at some stage, but just wondering if anybody has had anything similar since the new update.)

    No problems with mine… Are you 100% certain your BB is ok?
    I’m thinking BB bandwidth restrictions myself, who is your ISP and what package are you on?

    BB is fine (AFAIK) – we’ve got the lot from Sky – phone, BB (not fibre) and TV. Everything else connected to BB works just fine (can stream on tablet, or download an OD program from other menus if I can get to it 🙂 ). I’m half wondering whether I should take a punt on one of the deals BT are offering for their fibre things.

    I might try that hustler. Just a case of steeling myself for the call. 🙂
