Cable Forum - View Single Post - On Demand Unavailable

I found something out when trying to access "On Demand" programmes,

In the past i occasionally was confronted with the dialogue box saying:
"On Demand is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later"
and at the bottom of the dialogue box:
"Press OK to close window"

I found that by pressing OK and then hi-lighting the programme again and pressing OK, it usually accepts my command.

Sometimes i find that if it will not accept my command, i move the hi-lighted programme position up or down a couple of programmes, it will then let me choose the programme that i want.

Since discovering this a couple of days ago, it appears to work every time now (hopefully i haven't put a curse on it now)

I hope this makes sense, it's pretty difficult to explain it.

And the Sky Movies "Red Button" problem i've experienced, with it refusing to go past the "Loading" stage usually works again after a Reboot (useless i know if the film you want to watch is about to start)

The reboot seems to last for 2 to 3 days or so.
