Quote from: suffolkcindy All signs indicate problem with plusnet router.
Which signs exactly, please document them here.
It is not normally necessary to make any changes to a router configuration to accomodate iPlayer on a TV or any other compatible device.

have connected my new digital TV to ethernet and there is no automatic input of settings for the internet.
My TV has a HUMAX freesat HD box and the ethernet goes into that. When I search HUMAX forums they said the router was the problem (what do I know?).
I have tried setting the IP address etc by hand on the TV settings but still no joy. BBC iplayer still says TV is not connected to internet even though it is.

Has the Humax box got the latest firmware version (you'll find that on the menus) and exactly what model is it.

It's best to use the DHCP setting.

Quote from: suffolkcindy I didnt use the DHCP setting before
That WILL be your problem.
But surely it's the default anyway.
Doesn't say much about the help on the Humax forums though............

Checked software for humax box and it is HZPTSF 1.100.28 which others say works fine for them
Ethernet ID is 00-03-78-B6-C7-A1 if that means anything
Am really out of ideas now
