I give up. I hate life.

 

 

 

My T2100 FreeviewPlus aerialbox won't play a lot of the content I want to watch.

 

 

 

It will play Maori TV content.

 

It will play the pre-roll ads for TVNZ and Mediaworks content.

 

It won't play the actual catchup programmes.

 

 

 

It does this over WiFi connections.

 

It does this over LAN connections.

 

It does this even when I plug it directly into the router.

 

 

 

My PC, on the same connection, will play the desired content.

 

 

 

The TV is 8m from the router, WiFi is a good speed at that location, LAN looks to be very good.

 

 

 

I have a very good VDSL2+ connection, consistently running downloads at 30Mb/s (even after 2degrees took over.)

 

 

 

My T2100 has been replaced, software upgraded, and TVNZ—initially helpful—have got bored and wandered off. They did ask their 'app people', and one of their people who uses Snap checked that it would work on Snap's Auckland service.

 

 

 

Freeview themselves were barely interested at all.

 

 

Any ideas? At all?

 

 

The local computer-workshop geeks suggested it's a DRM issue, which is what I'm guessing, but I don't see anything I can change. They also suggested it might be the HDMI cable I use, so I tried a loaner - no change.

 

 

 

I use a Snap wired landline in Taranaki, and it has an IPv4 address that is static in practice if not name.

 

 

 

I am sad. %^(

 

 

 

I work nights and specifically bought the box to be able to pick and choose some TV.
