Error CS2511 Playback not possible

I'd like to watch the NFL match replays (Sky Sports Mix) which are shown as being available (in the guide on the TV box or iPhone app) but whenever I try to play them it shows 'playback not possible' and error code CS2511.

I've little appetite to call 150.

Any ideas what the issue is or how to resolve it?

    Can you view Sky Sports Mix if you try to watch live?

    Can you watch any other recordings? Can you pause live TV and watch delayed?

    These two checks should help ID if this is a channel availability issue or an HDD issue

      Yes, I can watch Sky Sports Mix live.  Have always been able to (with V6 and TV 360) and can now.

      I can watch various other recordings, pause TV etc.   I notice that other content on the EPG for Sky Sport Mix that shows a play icon also gives the same error/issue.

      I've not recorded this content - but it is supposed to be available off the platform as 'catch up'.

  • Hi g0akc,

    I have just tried the 4 highlight episodes showing on the TV guide for yesterday and they all play on my box.

    Have you tried rebooting the box and if that doesn't work try rebooting the hub.

      That's useful to know.

      I've already turned power off/on - issue persists.  I won't bother rebooting the hub which is in modem mode.  I use my own router but doubt that's the issue.  We can watch other catch up (other channels such as ITV) from the EPG or a search.

      I guess I'll have to ring VM in case it's some sort of permissions thing.

        After a load of hassle getting through on the phone, the agent claims there's an outage in my area (Ipswich, Suffolk).

        The online service checker showed something but only mentioned audio on TalkSport as the specifics.

        Resolution is said to be lunchtime on the 31st so I suppose I shall have to wait and try then.

        A separate agent, via Chat, claims it will be resolved within 2 hours, network teams involved and so on - but it's been well over the 2 hours already...  VM seem to make things up as they go along...  Since there's this 'known issue in my area' they won't look into things any further.  Already asked me loads of stupid questions like check the cables to the box from the wall after already stating we are watching live TV in UHD okay.....

      Roy - was your box a V6 updated to TV360 - or supplied as 360?

        Arris V6 boxes were replaced by Humax 360 main and mini boxes in 2020.

    This issue now seems to be fixed - now seems to be working and I can view various content okay from the EPG (but there's no icon in the Catchup tab).

    Took about a year to be resolved....

      Glad to hear everything is working okay for you now, when you say there is no icon what do you mean by this?

      Do you mean the channel name / logo in the corner?
