TV Box freezing

Hi, we upgraded to full fire last week and since then live TV keeps freezing about every 4 mins with a broadband issue message. If I change channels it works again but again freezes after minus. Watching BBC Player etc is fine. Only affects live TV.  Everything was fine prior to the upgrade to FTTP. 

I have rebooted router and reset TV box with no success in resolving problem.

Spoke to EE who are sending a new Box. However, from my research on here, it may be a problem with the router software that needs a patch.

Please can anyone help in resolving this issue.

Thanks

Quick update: we've applied a patch to your hub and are testing the results now. You're welcome to test for yourself too, if you're at home.

We were unable to cancel the new box from being sent (it was dispatched earlier today).  Please just send it straight back when it arrives - it won't change anything.

You are correct @Pomvek - this isn't an issue with your TV Box, and a replacement shouldn't have been sent.

Your video is stopping after exactly 4 minutes 20 seconds, which means it's suffering from one of a few known issues.  I've asked a colleague to take a look - I'll update here when I know more.

Thank you for your prompt response.

Update: our testing confirms that TV should now work for you, HOWEVER the patch is only temporary - if you reboot or turn off your hub then it will be lost.  Please leave it turned on for now.

We're working on an auto-deploy patch for all affected devices, until the permanent update is ready.

Understood. Thank you again for your help.
