it works for me on a residential connection.

Sky on demand programmes (from all channels, including BBC/ITV/C4/C5) are served from cdn.sky.com. However Channel 5 also uses Sky Adsmart to deliver custom adverts which it retrieves at the start of the download. If your box can't connect to the ad server this may be causing it to fail.

When trying the download of World's Greatest Bridges episode 1, my router showed the Sky box accessing the following URLs. Can you ping/tracert them all?
