Yes but they don't say which June or which end of summer do they? Absolute joke if you ask me. They should make an ex-gracia payment to all those who purchased in good faith 6 months back and are still waiting.

Personally I've given up on their promises and stream either from my iPad or iMac via Apple TV - excellent results done like this.

AT LAST!

Loved 4OD when I had YouView so now that it's on Freetime and in decent quality it makes Freesat the better platform (My personal opinion).

Just need remote record, content streaming (stream recordings to laptop etc) and Demand 5 to make it almost perfect!

Well, they did live up to their promise about delivering 4OD in June although they were cutting things a bit fine to say the least.

They've promised Demand 5 by the end of the summer and I hope that they deliver on that promise too. Mind you, that phrase is a bit ambiguous because it depends on how you define the end of summer. I'd say it was the autumn equinox on September 22 this year.

Still not got it here...........

My epg will rollback - all the shows are there...but I get a 403 forbidden error when I try to play anything.

ITV & BBC catch up work fine.............

Re-set the box - still nothing - is this a postcode rollout ?

I am OL9 ?

Does CH4-OD work if you select it via the on-demand option from the home menu ?
