Are you connecting via a VPN/DNS service?

Yes that's it!! I figured this out earlier - its actually a DNS service that I don't use anymore which was for US Netflix... I've been meaning to cancel and had practically forgotten all about it so this is a double win for me!

Thanks for the help! I am very happy to have my HD stream back (y)(y)

    @joecrow I've pushed an update that should make the guide data handle different time zones, let me know if it works.

    Super it looks very good, time shown is local and program info. now correctly reflects what is playing. Many many thanks, great service.:)

    Anyone else having issues with BBC iPlayer at the moment? Has the website changed as I'm not showing any of the programs under the categories.

    I just had a look under the "Most Popular" and "Comedy" categories but they look and play selections OK.

    Everything is working great:) but just an idea for improvement, If I view a BBC live station using a browser and hover the mouse over the screen a button (icon) appears with the option to "Restart the current program", i.e. start the program from the begining. Would it be possible to include that very usefull feature in the OLV implementation?

    I don't think this is possible, I currently use the iPad streams which I don't think support this feature. I couldn't get the web streams to work and there would need to be changes in the source filter to support it in any case.

    ITV 1 and 2 Live fail. :(
    Not sure when this started, I tried ITV1 for the first time in quite a while last night and it failed and is still failing today. The attached screenshot is for ITV1. ITV2 just hangs on 0% buffered and I could only get out of it by closing MP from the Task Manager. ITV3&4 Live play OK as does all ITV catchup content I have tried. No problem with TV1 Live via Firefox!
    Not sure if it is a coincidence but I did update the "MP IPTV filter and URL source splitter" yesterday:unsure:.

    Probably filter problem. Can you attach logs?
