Fixing the Freesat Freetime internet connection problem

Freetime Logo Photograph: Freesat
If the online services have worked in the past, but not today, here's how to fix the problem. Once done the box will continue to work until the Freesat box is powered off.
Step 1. Press the "Settings" button on the remote control.
Use the right arrow to select "Network connection" and press "OK".
Step 2 On the "Broadband connection screen"
Press OK to select "Connect automatically".
Step 3 See the "Great You're connected" screen.
This means everything is OK.
Step 4 Press the "freesat button" and scroll to "On Demand" and press OK
Everything will be fine until the box is powered off.

I have the same problem. On demand working one minute and then no connection and also on Showcase. Have tried everything possible, but still cannot use On Demand. My internet connection is fine as I am using my computer to access this website. Also iPhone and iPad are working fine.
What can be the problem? My box is just 2 years old, it is a Humax and Freesat is connected to my SKY satellite dish, luckily I still have SKY TV going strong, TheTV on the freest is fine, just the On demand continually telling me there is no internet connection.

I have a decent fairly large screen TV made by Sony which uses a version of Android.
It does receive satellite broadcasts - but does not have Freesat - so it's a bit unfriendly to say the least!
Apart from buying a Freesat set-top box, is there any way I can have a useable Freesat service on my telly?

Rob Johnson: The manufacturer has to pay a licence fee in order to make the Freesat guide available, which it sounds like Sony hasn't chosen to do for that particular model. A Freesat box would be the only way of making the Freesat EPG available on that TV.
