[QUOTE="BLUEPLATINUM, post: 909760, member: 176530"] I have been using Overplay SmartDNS for well over a year with all downloads completing successfully. At one point it stopped working (when Sky changed something) but Overplay support sorted it out quickly. It should also be noted that not all their UK servers work with Sky in my experience. The problems I do have is that the new Sky search normally doesn't work. It complains about the connection and reverts to the old search. Also some of the new features such as "Suggestions" do not work. It displays a message saying to connect to a broadband router. The main problem however is speed. Downloads which take 5 minutes in the UK (and which are available to watch within 30 seconds) may take the best part of a day to complete. I had put this down to my slow internet connection, but I have now upgraded to an LTE service offering speeds as good as the ADSL I use in the UK but the downloads are just as slow. The DNS settings are configured in the Sky box (not in my router). If anyone has any suggestions as to how to speed this up I would be very happy. The download speed is from 7 to 15 mbs with a latency of around 80ms. Thx. [/QUOTE]
