Netflix & iPlayer no longer working on Freesat Humax box?

[whiskywheels]

As of today, I can no longer get iPlayer or Netflix on TV using Freesat with Humax HDR 1100S. The Freesat webpage doesn't show Netflix or iPlayer on the channel list.
Have they removed these features (amongst others recently), or is it just a temporary glitch with Freesat, my internet etc.? Obviously I've reset the entire system, but it still doesn't work.
Can't find anything about this when searching t'internet.

It would normally be mentioned on the Humax website.
The Freesat box is quite old (In tech terms) and just like TVs etc. apps get continually updated, however there comes a point when they will not work on older models, so they get removed.
Best to contact Humax direct if nothing is showing on there website.

Older Firesticks can't play Netflix since they changed the encode of the video streams for less compression. May be a similar issue in that the Humax doesn't support the new encode?

If you still want access to iPlayer and Netflix, your best bet is to use a streaming device like a Fire Stick, Roku, or a smart TV app instead.
