Missing Timers

It's possible that my issue of gaps in the EPG are down to losing connectivity with the IceTV servers.

Today I observed that my BYO IceBox had not updated since yesterday afternoon. Reluctantly, because I was recording the Olympics, I restarted the IceBox which resolved the issue, but in the process lost some of the Olympics coverage.

Does anyone know how connection to the the IceTV servers can be re-established without rebooting the box? I tried refreshing the ethernet connection under the LibreELEC settings but that didn't trigger a reconnection, and I couldn't find anywhere to re-establish internet connectivity in the TVHeadend config GUI.

I have had various IceBox that ceased contacting the IceTV server - not sure what caused the problem.

The first thing to do is to determine if it is a software issue (with TVHeadend/IceTV LibreELEC add-ons) or due to communication problems between the IceBox an the IceTV server. This could be caused by loss of the WIFI connection (if you are using WIFI) and it not reconnecting properly. So, are you using WIFI. [I do not use WIFI as it can be problematic - all my PVRs connect to the home network via Ethernet a luxury that is not available to everyone.]

Did you see a on-screen message about TV headend failure to connect to server - I am having this problem with my IceTV IceBox at the moment, but no my BYOB IceBox.

Thanks for the response. I really don't know whereabouts in the connection chain the issue arose, although I did swap over modems yesterday which probably triggered it. One thing I didn't try was disabling and reenabling the add-ons, but what I was really after was some guidance on how to reestablish connection with the IceTV server without resorting to a reboot. It may just be not possible.
