Steps to refresh available players

Network connection

Check your box is connected to your network:

  • press the Home button
  • go to Settings > Signal & Connection > Broadband Connection
  • The status should be connected. If not, the box will automatically try to reconnect if there's no connection available

  • wait for 10 seconds and then reconnect the hub
  • when you have a solid broadband light on your Hub, if you use them, reconnect your Powerline Adapters and wait 10 seconds
  • reconnect the BT TV box to the power supply
  • now retry the On Demand player
