Youtube has videos on how to reattach the plug to the cable

It needs fixing, but it won't make any difference to the On Demand problem which relies on a broadband connection, not the dish cables..

Found the video on you tube which sorted the input 2 problem, thank you 

I still had problems connecting to on demand search and catch up so rebooted my internet, still didn't work even though it was saying connected. 
In the end I deleted the internet and reset it again which seemed to have sorted everything and I downloaded the programme I wanted.

30 minutes later it's playing up again 🙈🤷‍♀️
