I'm affected by this too.... You should have On Demand though, are you getting an error message?
EDIT: mines fixed now  check yours.

Ah, now that I've checked again, yes I do (including iPlayer). Help is also working. So just the Apps then, which is not a huge loss at the moment.

As has been said - usual quote if they don't know "its a network problem".
These engineers must be the most incompitant fitters there is, if it don't work after inserting the 3 wires it is an outside fault.
Do they know nothing about the equipemenmt they are installing ??.

If it's a flashing heart on the box, then it's a network issue. All you can do is wait..

Not really, if it's a network problem, then the installer can't do anything until that bits fixed. Networks will be given a ticket ref to action.
Hope you don't have to wait too long mate.

If it's a network problem why, I assume it is only affecting my box ?.

Could be anyone with TiVo on your cab, depends really. It could also be a Network IT issue just affecting your install.

That should have been the first thing that happened, and should take less than 5 minutes. You really do need the installer to come back. Call them.

Doubt it, constant rebooting is usually a hardware fault
