Unhappy Watch from Start blank screen

Is anyone else having trouble with Virgin Media TV since yesterday's upgrade?
When I select from the program list and click on Watch from start, it displays a blank (or purple) screen and nothing else happens.
I have this from BBC and ITV (not checked others yet as it takes a series of random button pressing to get a picture back)

Choosing BBC should direct you to iPlayer.

Re: Watch from Start blank screen

Watch from start works for me on my TV 360. Note that only BBC and ITV redirect to their iPlayer and ITVX apps. Try a reboot like this.

1. Turn off the VM box at the wall

2. Turn off the TV at the wall

3. Wait 20–30 seconds

4. Turn TV back on

5. Turn VM box back on
