    Tried this this morning left Hitechbox and router off for 2 hr. Did not make any difference. Ahhhh!

    fourfree what firmware update are you using ? also who is your internet provider after what I have read from others on this thread this just might be the problem ie your 9000 being blocked from connecting, many month back I am sure I read something about providers blocking what they called illegal streaming equipment! I am not saying this is what is happening but if those not connecting are on the same provider it does give food for thought!

    Hi have tested with different internet service provider and all OK. Update to latest firmware as well. Problem seems to be Plusnet internet provider which worked ok till recently. Have now changed some internet IP address setting and have regained some service from Plusnet (VOD OK but no MYTV VIP service). Not sure what's going on? Not to many others reporting the same fault maybe just me.
    Will update if I have any info more testing to be done.

    When you say you have no MYTV VIP do you have other MYTV channels? The VIP tab is at the bottom of the left hand column. If you have not adjusted the Hitechbox picture size (in System Settings / AV settings / Picture size) for your TV you may not see the VIP tab. I have mine set to 97% to see the VIP tab, otherwise I don't see it. Just a thought. reni.

    fourfree not all working in MYTV most work in world but have to say there is sometimes await before the channels appear, so if you click on a channel just wait and see. Other channels open straight away.

    Users cannot access MYTV, VOD, HTTP Upgrade. Internet providers block it.
    Solution :
    In HitechBox
    Network / IP Settings / Address Settings / Mode Config --> set --> Static IP
    Change DNS Server --> 001.001.001.001
    You will see your router's IP now (192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.254)
    Press OK
    DCHP/Bootp Server will set to --> 1.1.1.1

    nippon the number in red in the DNS Server is the number that will change if you hit a number on your keyboard! so if the red number is on say number 3 if you click on 1 on your keyboard that 3 will change to 1.
    My DNS Server numbers were changed to what blackdevil advised above in thread #49 and 9000 working well.

    Firstly, I've had no problems at all.Glad to see Blackdevil has sorted this out and members have got their boxes working.I wonder if some technical person in plain language could explain why the Dns 1.1.1.1 works if providers block service.How does this bypass providers ?
    I am asking out of interest for future reference, perhaps someone could explain to me how and why this works.
    Thanks

    Worked for me as well, although it took four attempts before the changes saved, then ok.
