Can some one tell me if iplayer and the like on a Humax freesat box needs a sat signal to work in other words does the feed come through the broad band or does one need both the sat signal and the broadband . I hope I make some sense . I am wondering if I can use my box via the internet to access these channels as always thank you .

You have to hook it up to the internet for iplayer etc. Iplayer doesnt work in Ireland though.

I was assuming that as you were working through a UK address it would work , Can you see where I am coming from . Similar to an ex pat route.

You can hook up your humax to your router by ethernet cable or home plugs if the router is in a different room.

If you set up a VPN (google it) on your router you can then use the iplayer. The ITV player should work as I believe it is not IP region specific.

The question is will the humax box work if I plug an ethernet cable in to it without a sat feed , I need a new lnb and my router is along way from the tv. I was hoping some one could tell me so if I link it up it will not be a waste of time.

Anyone confirm please if the ITV player definately works with the Irish IP address. thanks

What region is your Freesat box set to? Just checked again on mine and it works fine.
