The functions you describe use the internet, and your V6 needs a connection to your homehub in order to go online. You mention that Netflix is OK, which would suggest internet connectivity isn't the issue. Can you view OnDemand programmes OK?
If so, have you tried restarting your V6 via Help & Settings > Clear or restart?
When did you install this V6?
