What do you you mean by 'the hub will crash'? Signs & symptoms?

So you lose the Internet and Broadband lights? (Sign)

Can you get to the HH's Home page on 192.168.1.254?

There have been some cases of buffer overruns when people have been using some download utilities. What level of HH firmware are you on? (Bottom of 192.168.1.254)

You lose but what is more intriguing is that thousands of people on 6.2.2.e ARE successfully using the HH for iPlayer.

We shall have to wait and see what the signs and symptoms of the failure are.

Yep, version E has been forced now, the only way you're not running it is if your home hub is hacked or not attached to a BT broadband line. Have you tried resetting the hub to defaults? (there's a button to do this on the 1.5, on the V1 you just hold down the wireless button till it clicks)
