Can not get any recordings from channel 4 to play

Confused1972 — Sun, 22 Sep 2024 19:15:38 GMT

I have loads of series that I like to watch on channel 4, but it won't let me play any of them.

The 4 logo just keeps spinning on a black screen.

I have tried all of the recommended options, reset apps, turned off sky at the wall, turned off broadband shield, and nothing works.

Surely this should have been sorted by now, as when you google it, sky users have been having this issue since last year!

We pay enough for Sky!

It's so annoying when you're paying for it. It shouldn't be up to us to have to contact channel 4 app developers and sort it!

Sky advertise the app as part of a package, so they should ensure that it works.

I want to watch MAFS UK lol.

I can't even find a way of contacting Sky either. They shouldn't be allowed to hide behind community advice.

Where is a Sky rep?? Why aren't you sorting this for your paying customers?!

Working fine for me, so not a general problem.

Have you tried accessing the Channel 4 app on your Smart TV ... no payment required it is a FTA service😉

Yeah I tried but can't even get into my actual smart tv options.
I've tried changing all of the HDMI options and none let me use my actual TV as a smart TV.

Have you tried pressing Home button on your Smart TV's remote... you may also have to install the app from the Smart TV's App Store😉
