For the last couple of weeks pressing 1 on my remote is taking ne to iPlayer instead of straight to BBC1.  This is very annoying.  I have a Netgem 4k box.  Tried rescanning channels.  Aerial connection is fine.  Anyone know how this can be resolved ?  Is this a netgem problem ? 
thanks.

Thank you for your quick response.  Really appreciate it.  Glad I’m not the only one with the issue.  It’s reassuring that it’s being looked into. 
Hopefully will be sorted soon.

I have been offering suggestions regarding issues with the Netgem box, but reported issues seem to be increasing, so don't want to waste your time with potential solutions that may not work.
I know these issues have been reported to Netgem and TalkTalk are awaiting a firmware update to apply to the boxes.
Staff are back on Monday and will hopefully be able to advise further then.

 

If this is your only issue then use channels 101 and 102, which should work ok and also give you a better picture, as will 103, 104 etc.


If you have additional issues, in the meantime I suggest you put the aerial in the TV and bypass the box and use your TV tuner if possible.
