    That's weird. It worked for me this morning. I was getting that same error for the last few weeks but it went through this morning.

    Same, worked fine for me too.


    Downloaded about 32% of Moonraker in HD now in an hour. Seems to be going quicker than I thought it might with my internet speed. Shall be happier with the content once a lot more of it gets sorted in HD at some point, hopefully.

    Lads I just went through the whole process there to checkout, how long will I be waiting for it to kick in on the box?

    Edit: Just working now, looks good ITV Player working perfectly.. wasn't expecting that.

    I went and connected the box via ethernet within like a minute of signing up on the site, was all working by then.

    Cool. Must have a proper look when I get home. As I'm doing card trick too. I was expecting there to be a catchup tab and all the players would be in there

    Just looking through the ITV player section there now and it doesn't seem to be the full player, seems to be a selection of all the ITV channels, better then nothing though.

    Took about 5 min to kick in for me, just keep the Ethernet cable plugged in and it should come eventually.

    ITV Player just seemed to work for me, pressed okay on a program and it downloaded, I have not done anything with my card. The box sets in the actual box set section are mostly skys own shows, and things like Mad men (season 5), Greys anatomy(season8), and doctor who(season 3). But there are a lot of other programs in the library with multiple episodes, like the Walking dead, but not full box sets. Also Sky store needs a phone line to rent movies, it doesn't use the LAN.

    does it HAVE to be set up via ethernet? Just the usb wifi card for the mammys laptop kept cutting out so she is connected to the router via ethernet, and it is like the other side of the room from the skybox

    Ethernet or an ethernet to Wifi adapter. It needs very good internet access. The service is not officially launched yet.

    It's recorded by your box overnight, usually takes 3-4 days before you see any significant amount of content appear under it.

    It doesn't on my box anyway. But I am still waiting on the update, so it may be different on a box with the update. When you select a program it will put a record symbol next to it or under it (depending on the menu) then it will either say downloading or scheduled, when you go to the Downloads part of your planner it will be in there. It will queue multiple programs and download one at a time. It will allow you to play the program once about 3% is downloaded (this is shown in the description).
