I have done this and still no access to my IPTV via my Zgemma box it was working fine until we changed from Sky to EE, it has been tried at 2 other properties both with different providers and works fine, can you please suggest what I can do? I have the main screen and the EPG but nothing listed. I am in my 60s and hubby disabled so this is his social life and we have been without for over 3 weeks?? Thank you

Ok are you certain that the box is actually connected to the internet ? If you have IPTV player plugin installed, check that it works if not download from plugins and check that streams are working (movienight should open )

Switching Smart Setup on and off on the BT Home Hub 4 or Hub 5

You can turn Smart Setup on or off in the Hub Manager. Here's how:
  1. Open the Hub Manager by going to http://bthomehub.home or 192.168.1.254 in your web browser
  2. Click on Advanced Settings

  3. Enter the admin password. Unless you've previously changed it, you'll find the default password on your Hub settings card on the back of your Hub. If you have changed it and now forgotten it, you can use the password override feature to set up a new password
  4. Click on Continue to Advanced Settings

  5. Click on Home Network and then Smart Setup

I would try and reflash your box then re install your iptv
 
well you need to install a virtual private network on your zgemma or router if EE are blocking iptv servers,

1. Log in or register your account at https://myaccount.ee.co.uk/login-dispatch/
2. Click DEVICE&USAGE in the menu and scroll down to content lock
3. Turn content lock off

Just turn power button off on back of router wait a minuite then turn it back on

Has anyone suggested checking the network settings on your zgemma?? Might not help but worth checking? May need resetting or rediscovering?
 
Major issues in ROI with sly broadband blocking, speed tests good, tried with eirr all good, conclusion sly bb blocking

extremely bad advice!
just "turning the power button off" may result in your line having DLM applied, which will result in a slower connection.
if you keep doing it then you will adversely affect your line.

you should never just kill the power on the router, you should always do a graceful disconnection of the DSL link before powering off the router.

Really i have never had a problem just turning off the router ?, It has always sorted the problem for me
 
doing it regularly will result in the line monitoring thinking you have a fault on the line and DLM will kick in to try and make your line stable, which can result in your line speed dropping.

doing it once should not cause any problem, doing it more can.

regardless, the correct way should be to gracefully disconnect the DSL first before rebooting.

however, the whole "reboot your router" thing is mostly hokum IMO.
chances are you reconnect on the same IP and same gateway which means the reboot has done nothing other than reset your uptime to zero.

So when your provider for bb tells you to do it everytime there's a fault or they tell you to reset it is that bad advice I always turn my box and router off everytime never had a problem still get the same speeds as I was prior and as @londonfox says he's never had a problem so how can it be bad advice
 
hokum LOL This it is not nonsense have a read of this

@bazcfc1 That was not bad advice, When your connection goes wonky and you unplug the router for 1 to 5min and reboot it and it sort's the problem OUT thats what you do LOL
