Scratch that - Iplayer only works on my main comuter with the vpn software installed on it (thought I had other computers running iplayer - must be confused)( Must be a way to get other comuters and my humax to get iplayer working through my VPN (I#m in Norway by the way hence need of VPN)

Got iplayer working on all my computers in the house both wirelessly and connected via LAN but cant get it to work on my Humax Foxsat. Says the 'media does not seem to be working' all the time. Any ideas?

cheers - message sent

UPDATE: OK, tried adjusting the angle SLIGHTLY and it verified my postcose on teh HUmax box and seems to be searching an picking up the right channles........fingers crossed I have it right this time. Great bit of kit this sat finder - saved me a fortune in call out fees to get a sparky to line...

OK, moved the dish and now have found SOME uk channels mixed in with foreign ones. The EPG is nothing like it used to be (i.e. the channel order and numbers etc) so guess I still dont have the right satellite but must be close. Is it just a case of move it a bit, retune and try again or is there...
