I am unable to access on demand or advanced search features without first re-booting my DRX890W Sky+ HD box.
It doesn't make any difference whether I am connected to my BB router by wifi or powerline adapters. A direct ethernet connection would be difficult and I doubt it would make any difference. The network settings screen shows that I have a local network connection but that there is no connection to on demand. Resetting the network connection doesn't make any difference neither does swapping between wired and wifi. My box must be connected to the internet as there is no telephone connection yet I can view my Sky bill on my TV.
Switching the box to standby then off (to red Led) before restarting, restores all on demand functions for the remainder of the day. I do have "eco" mode enabled and have not tried disabling it. I also switch my BB router off overnight. It's DOCSIS so this will not effect my connection speed.
I suspect this to be a firmware problem as it should be possible to fully reset the box's network connection without having to resort to a re-boot. Has anyone else noticed this behaviour and if so found a different solution?
