    OK so I change to static IP, but what else do I have to change in the address settings? Thanks.

    Nope did not work for me. Tried end 3 numbers from 0 to 10 to 100 to 250. And a few inbetween. None worked for MYIPTV, but they worked for Albuk. Thanks for your help but I think I am being blocked either by broadband provider or Hitech ?

    Thanks for your suggestion, but You Tube is working fine, but MYIPTV is not, nor can I populate and download from the HTTP upgrade area.

    Have you checked your network details! when I experienced that problem awhile ago I found one number had changed! I also had the message stating
    ( Internet connection success ). After changing the network digits back to what they were before the problem the box worked correctly as new.
    I can only presume the corruption came about after an update, certainly worth looking at,

    Once your box is working okay it pays to write down as much detail as possible of how your box is set up logging all numbers in network whether DHCP or static etc, this will help in the future.

    Will have a look again but the box is connected to the internet. Albuk TV , YouTube and some A***t (not the list of channels --they don't load) work. Thanks.

    Tried static ip / DHCP / checked MAC Address etc. Checked all OK in router hub. Running out of ideas perhaps its hardware or software issue other than the changeable software. Anyone got any other suggestions? Thanks.

    I have this file now and it does not make any difference. The box will not connect to the Hitech server. Nor do any of the previous firmware versions. I think that either the server is down ( but not for everyone) or some boxes have been deliberately excluded ( maybe by age) via MAC address, Chip Number or Serial Number?

    Thanks for the info have had the box for a few years now. Guess I can ask if anyone has got a good replacement for the Hightech9000HD. Any remediation from the sponsors online shop on replacement.

    So it looks like the Hitechbox is not being supported anymore ! It was OK while it lasted.

    I upgraded to SW 2.3.63. A few more icons but everything dead except ALBUK.

    I have used it as a backup with IPTV when the 'gift' ran out but I have pretty much given up on it and have bought a Vu Uno 4K SE which is brilliant. You can do everything you could do on a Hitechbox or Spiderbox but it's better. More reliable and the picture is great. There are so many things you can do with it and I have to say I'm still trying to figure it all out. l It seems a bit daunting at first trying to understand all the stuff about Images, Skins, Bouquets, etc but it's really quite easy. Lots of support out there as well.

    Some people recommend Zgemma but looking at the price I guess you will get what you pay for.

    I will still keep the Hitechbox just to see what happens but not holding my breath !

    Just to say again that I have none of the problems with my HitechBox HB9000 that some people in this thread have described. I have no trouble connecting to the server and My TV IPTV still works for me. I've had my box since August 2016 and I see no reason to change.

    The main issue I have with My TV is that you have to hunt around a bit for working channels. However, there are normally plenty available and as a tip, the Eleven Sports PT HD channels on World 170 -174 were working flawlessly for the Champions League games last night and are still working today.

    Have to agree with Weston Calling I also have no problem connecting (although for some strange reason Utube would not connect last night, but I have had this before and it connected again with no problem the very next night) all other working apps okay.
    IPTV working as described in the last post, again had my receiver since Oct 2016 and never renewed gift after it ran out.
    I still think your connecting problem is with your network? although where and why I have no answer sorry.

    Hi Renibacterium it looks like you got network problem. Take your box to any of your friend's house and try on their network and see if your box is connecting to 9000 server. My box is still working like most of us ever since I bought it since 2016 apart from Gift. Unless your IP is barred by the server people.

    Ah Ha ! Mine is Plusnet too. The plot thickens. Anyone else? I would check with someone elses broadband but I have not got anyone near to try. Nor do I have a smart phone.

    Easy to fix, power off 9000. Then power off your broadband router for good 10 minutes, power it back on wait till it gets new public IP, then power up the 9000, and you will find My TV and firmware updates will work again. Working on BT infinity smart hub 6.
