It's an absolute joke of an issue. We in this thread are simply the tip of the iceberg. Imagine how many are calling up sky and using their resources. it makes sense to fix it asap. How this passed QC is unbelievable, such a basic problem...buffering live tv and also with me anyway random crashes watching recorded stuff. It's like they have released a beta or even alpha version of the software to the general public. Awful!
EDIT: the firewall workaround does not work for me including me manually adding a rule and trying a bat file.
