Anyone else seeing this?

Anything I try and download to my SKYQ box from Atlantic (on demand) is failing with item unavailable. Box has been reset, broadband reset etc. Only Sky Atlantic failing, other channels download fine, Netflix and Amazon stream fine. Seen a thread on SKY community, 48 pages long of people with the same issue. Anyone here seen it? Resolved it?

Are you eligible to download it? Is it classed as a box set for example?

Is it a HD program and you don't have HD for that channel? We have to change the download format to SD to allow downloading.

Yes, all the box sets and on demand are part of my package. This has recently stopped working. Eg I can't download Mate of Easton, which I previously could (tried as a test).

My starting point is always to check for software updates. Normally resolves issues

Has the latest version. After a long wait on the phone, they finally answered and said they are sending an engineer on 24th........ judging by the SKY forums (now up to 53 pages and still growing), there area lot of people with this issue and no one has been able to resolve it as yet.

In case anyone else sees this. The Sky thread is now 57 pages long, but I have a resolve that works for me. I had to go into the SkyQ settings, edit the network and manually change the DNS IP from the Bt router to Cloudflare (1.1.1.1). Google on 8.8.8.8 also works. It seems as though SKY have made a change that hasn't propagated through to the BT DNS servers.
