Freeview Play Issues

[securespark]

When you click Home on the remote it takes you to all of the Apps does it not? iPlayer, Netflix etc?

Far easier to go to iPlayer and search for Homes... and add it to a favourites/watchlist for future use

It’s available on iPlayer .

Yes, these shows are on iPlayer. But it's not easy to find the show you missed that way. It's much easier to access the programme you missed via the guide and then scroll backwards.

Sorry, the text thing has gone mad. Can't turn it off. First it went bold, now it's gone bold and italic ....

Thank you. I tried unplugging for 10 mins earlier and it didn't work. I did it again now and the screen is now like yours and I can scroll back. So if this happens again, I know what to do!

Playback of recent programs is not immediately available you have to wait an hour or two sometimes a few days.

True, apart from the BBC channels, where - when the program is still on, you can press the green button, to restart it..

It's catching up, if you are behind

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one (at least with my Panny OLEDS's Freeview Play implementation of the user interface for reverse EPG). I thought the Play UI was prescribed (like You View was) but am clearly mistaken.

However glad to see a hard mains reset has resolved the problem for you.

I updated mine to the latest OS tonight as I got a message come up telling me to do so. I did it ….and lost all channels! Tried rescanning, no luck. I could only see the programmes when looking at the guide. If I selected them, the screen went blank. Mrs Mottie told me to unplug it, leave it a while and then plug it back in - I did and it worked! I should have carried out the advice I gave you.

Kept doing it! Had to unplug it and plug back in every time I turned it on. Phoned up Richer sounds and they said do a master/factory reset. Did that and all good now. Had to reset all my settings again though.

That's weird!

I just got home from swimming and wanted to watch a prog and that arrow to go back is missing again....

Looks like I'll be talking to RS too!

Thanks for the advice.

Try a factory reset. They gave me the number to call for tech advice on LG TV’s but said the first thing they will tell you to do is a factory reset so best to do that first.
