Just bought a Sony tv purely to get catchup channels as my previous Sony tv only had BBC iplayer. The apps for itvhub, Channel 4 and my5 apps are all there. The only one that will play programmes is BBC iplayer. The other apps will play the adverts and then stops before the programmes starts. Very frustrating. Help anyone????
Well, after all that stress, itvhub now plays. Channel 4 not so good, sound and picture out of sync, but is that me or channel 4??. Thank you so much for giving me such simple instructions. Grateful.
Glad it's working - they should put something in the FAQ tbh as there are regular posts on here re itv and ch4 issues that can be solved via accepting the terms and conditions
RE ch4 I don't recall sync issues - may just be a temporary glitch on that program
I think that was a glitch, tried another channel 4 programme and it's all OK. I thought I did accept terms when I set it up, maybe not. So, is does Youview control those apps?? Funny how tech problems get you so enraged!! Thanks again.
Yes itv and ch4 app are completely linked to youview on Sony android. Iplayer less so, my5 is not linked.
There is a way to sideload the apps and use them with youview turned off but it does require downloading onto a USB from a computer etc. so not worth it if you're happy with youview or not technical
Thought I'd better check my5 after you saying that. Phew, works OK. I'll leave things as they are, no "sideloading" going on here. Thanks again for your help, I was fast becoming enraged!!!
Good luck with getting anywhere with Sony. My Bravia periodically disconnects from the internet. I have bought a wired connection and jumped through every hoop Sony customer service presented but their real stroke of genius was telling me to take it to the next town during lockdown or pay for a courier to pick the tv up! What planet are they on, obviously one without Covid19. the tv may be a crock of s**t but I need a tv at the moment.
