Continually having to reset sky on demand connector

I have just reset my sky on demand wireless connect again.  Following the instructions usually gets it working again, but why does it keep happening?  It needs doing on at least  weekly basis if not more often.  Very frustrating when you are tired during the evening and just want to watch TV - only to find you are not connected to on demand yet again. Does anyone else find this and is there a way to prevent it and get greater reliability?

Caesarome, Thank you for the links.  Unfortunately my Hub is a Hub 3, not a Hub 4 and is not a dual band one, so that won't fix my problem.  turning everythingoff and re-booting does solve the problem (although sometimes it takes  a few gos) but I just wonder why it keeps dropping out in the first place and if there is a way to prevent that.

  • HH4 and Sky On Demand

    I'm having trouble with Sky On Demand so I thought I'd try here having exhausted the Sky forum. I have no problems at all with every other piece of equipment that is connected to the router apart from the Sky HD box, hence trying over there first. I've connected it via homeplugs but the problem is still there if I use the wireless connector provided by Sky. Downloads take forever, literally several hours for any HD broadcast and not much better in SD. For instance I am currently downloading a 30 minute HD programme and it's on about 5 percent after 40 minutes, size of file is approx 1.3gb. Is there anything I can try in the hubs settings to try to resolve this? Speed is excellent for ADSL at around 16mb download and just over 1mb upload. Thanks in advance for any advice.
    Solved!

    Is this any help, as I think it also applies to the HH4?

  • Broadband goes down when using sky on demand

    we have bt broadband, sky on demand wi fi connector and also netflix/bbc i player/you tube through our dvd player. we find sky on demand very slow to download and frequently lose our broadband connection to the pc/laptop when downloading. this occasionally happens whilst viewing netflix etc through our dvd player. any thoughts please - sky have sent us a replacement on demand connector but it has made no difference

    can you run btspeedtester and when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post results

    if wifi dropping then you can try downloading inssider3 (istumbler if MAC) and then run it. This will show the broadcasting networks round about you and their channels including your own. If you then enter your router and change your wireless channel to a free or less congested channel.

  • Old Apple ID request won't allow me to continue with the reset

    A few months ago I called Apple Care because I was having trouble changing our apple ID from our old email address to the new one. I thought we had resolved the issue but tonight, I wiped the I Pad, logged in with my current ID and then when I went to restore from the icloud backup, it requested the password but the little blurb had the old apple id.  I tried using the old password but it wouldn't let me in and I since I wiped the ipad, I can't continue or figure out how to change this setting.  Spent hours with Apple care a few months ago, but evidently we didn't fix this issue and I can't reach out to Apple Care without paying another fee.Can someone tell me how to get rid of the old apple ID/email address completely and continue with the reset??

    Try logging on to your iCloud account and wiping the iPad that way.
    remove it, which will erase it, and will turn off the activation lock.

  • Cannot add On Demand Connector to basket

    I'm trying to buy an On Demand connector from the Sky shop online but whenever I click to add it to my basket it just goes to a summary screen of my account and doesn't add it to my basket. Can anyone help? As usual, nothing is ever simple with Sky...

    Try signing out, clearing all your cookies and cache, close down and then restart your browser and give it another go. If it still doesn't work try using an alternative browser.

  • Sky on demand not working

    Hello please can you help. Our sky on demand service has stopped working. It always used to work, we have downloaded programs etc in the past. Network setting say failed to connect to our sky router. We use an Ethernet cable. If I connect the same cable to my Xbox we can access online content so doesn't appear to be a problem there. When we use either the Xbox or sky we used to unplug cable and connect to the desired device, not sure if this affects anything? Is it possible to turn the Ethernet plug on the sky box off? we have tried sky's online help of turning router and box off etc, no good.... all help appreciated, thanks Dan

    Try resetting the connection, go to Settings > Network and press select and then the red button, sometimes it can take a few presses of the red button to get it to work.
    If this hasn't worked remove the ethernet cable from the back of the box that goes to your router then plug it back in after 3 minutes.
    Something else to try is to reboot your sky box at the mains, after powering it back up wait a further 5 minutes before using the box again.

  • Please can anyone help? My brother has given me his old 1st generation iPod and, while I love some of the music on it, some of it is awful!! How do I delete individual songs without having to reset and lose everything?? There must be an easy answer.

    Please can anyone help? My brother has given me his old iPod 1st Gen 30GB. It has loads of music on it that I love and don't want to lose however there is quite a bit of stuff that I really don't want. How can I remove the songs I don't like without having to reset the iPod and lose the songs I do like. I'm sure there's an easy answer but I just can't figure it out!!

    Hi there, there doen't seem to be any option to "select songs and videos" so this hasn't helped I'm afraid. I guess I'll just have to accept the fact that I'm going to have to reset and lose the lot.

  • HT4623 I have never had a passcode to lock  my iPad. Now that I have updated it with IOS7 it is asking for one and is locked. How do I unlock this without having to reset the whole thing through iTunes????

    I have never had a passcode to lock  my iPad. Now that I have updated it with IOS7 it is asking for one and is locked. How do I unlock this without having to reset the whole thing through iTunes????

    Unfortunately, if the iPad is insisting that you use a passcode, there is no way around it other than to restore the device using iTunes on a computer, or by erasing it in iCloud.com via Find My iPhone.
    You could try resetting the iPad and cross your fingers and hope this is just a blip on the radar....hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

  • How do I restart my computer for updates without having it reset because the log in window, suddenly, now appears?

    How do I restart my macbook for updates without having it reset because the log in window, suddenly, now appears? I've never had this issue until a few days ago when there were updates available. Somewhere the settings were changed. I may have inadvertently changed a log in preference but can't trace it back.

    That usually doesn't happen (unless you do not use automatic login) unless you boot into Safe Mode. When prompted do you enter your admin password? What happens when you do that?

  • TS4209 When i wake up my iMac from sleep my wifi is disconnected.  It also disconnects my iPad, my wives iPad, my iPhone & Sky On Demand which is connected via wifi. To reconnect all devices i have to switch off & then on again wifi on the iMac. Can anyon

    When i wake up my iMac from sleep my wifi is disconnected.  It also disconnects my iPad, my wives iPad, my iPhone & Sky On Demand which is connected via wifi. To reconnect all devices i have to switch off & then on again wifi on the iMac. Can anyone help?

    Had the same issue and finally solved it.  After the upgrade to Mavericks our 2 new Macbook Airs stopped connecting automatically to Wifi while the older machines the kids had still worked fine.
    Bought a new airport extreme and problem solved.   Our Airport Extreme was about 5 years old and was probably not compatible with the new OSX.
    BTW this was after trying everything people suggested on this forum and a 4 hour marathon tech support call with Apple where we reinstalled the OSX.
    ***** to need to spend $200 but glad the problem got solved.
    New extreme is also mega fast so its all good.

  • Should I be having to reset/restore my Classic on a nearly daily basis?

    I keep having problems with my Classic and basically have since the day I got it. It's been annoying but I haven't tried to get a new one because I thought maybe it was just a software problem that every Classic owner would be having. Sometimes I'll be prompted to restore the iPod, do so and then when I use it again, either I get the "red x" screen telling me to restore the iPod again or I'll choose a song, just to have the iPod freeze up and I have to reset it manually (which sometimes solves the problem, some times doesn't.) When it freezes this way, there's generally this sort of short "beep" sound. It's hard to explain without sounding stupid, because it's a "computer-y" noise.
    A friend of mine told me that if I took it to the Apple store, they'd just tell me, that because I use a PC, I probably had a virus on my computer that was messing with my iPod. That's why I wanted to post here to see if anyone else has been experiencing problems to this extent or if there's something wrong with my iPod.

    Thanks for the input. It just got ridiculous over the weekend with having to reset the iPod. It basically will only work once every other time that I try to use it. I ran an anti-virus program just to be sure that it wasn't my computer's fault my iPod was giving me problems, as my friend suggested.
    I bought it from Amazon. Would they be able to help me at the Apple store?
