There is already a thread for this problem, which I also experience all the time. To be get around it, unplug the ethernet cable, and connect wirelessly. If you can't connect wirelessly (I couldn't originally), Google now tv smart box secret menu disable Internet pings.
Follow those instructions and you will now be able to connect wirelessly.
It's a software fault with the latest update that affects the now tv smart box that's connected to virgin super hub via ethernet! So annoying. Hoping for a software fix so I can go back to ethernet connection!

Hi TC

 

One other thing you should do is try and keep your box cool, so do not keep it on top of your TV because the TV's heat, combines with the boxes own heat, makes things worse and will more than likely shorten the life of the box.
