I've just finished setting up a home V6 install for my Mum & Dad. Initially, we had no catch-up or on-demand, and it seemed to be due to the V6 box losing internet connectivity when it was restarted. I was using the wi-fi connection from a Shub 2ac, with a fixed address, on the 5Ghz frequency. The box was reporting the signal strength as excellent (82%), but there was still no catch-up/on-demand.

In the end, I remembered that I had installed powerline adapters for my Mum & Dad's Smart TV in the past, so got them to connect that to the Tivo instead, whereupon catch-up/on-demand was restored.

So, I wonder if anyone can tell me if there's any bugs affecting the V6's wi-fi, or does it need to be setup in a particular way - maybe I had just set it up incorrectly?
