CANNOT GET INTO TV
CANNOT GET INTO TV
Help!!
All of a sudden today I cannot get onto the TV. BBC or any other channel. Not even the radio.
This is what it says when I try
"Unable to connect
An error occurred during a connection to www.bbc.co.uk.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web"
I need our Enrique again!! .

Re: CANNOT GET INTO TV
I think it must be the firewall. How do I disable that.
Something updated itself this morning and since then no TV

Re: CANNOT GET INTO TV
Can you use your WiFi on other devices ? Your phone or ipad ?
Do you have anything else plugged in, a PC for example ? Is it working ?

Re: CANNOT GET INTO TV
Good morning Patricia,
My third attempt to get a reply out.
Check if Windows updated yesterday morning, if so remove the update, reboot and see if things have returned to normal.

Re: CANNOT GET INTO TV
Thank you very much Enrique. I finally did it!! I uninstalled eventually and lo and behold I have the radio and TV back.

Re: CANNOT GET INTO TV
Can't people learn from it!! I wouldnt know what to do unless someone with experience like Enrique knows what to do. No one is stopping anyone else from coming in and asking questions or reading it and learning from it.
Anyway I have done it now. Thanks all the same.

Re: CANNOT GET INTO TV
I'm also having trouble with the BBC and getting the message:
This site can’t be reached
www.bbc.co.uk refused to connect.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Other TV apps are working OK on laptop, TV and Firestick so it's not the DNS. The BBC sports page wouldn't load either, but after Googling tried BBC.com and that is OK.

Re: CANNOT GET INTO TV
I messaged Smartdnsproxy and they said to reactivate my DNS even though the accounts page said it was OK. I did that and now everything is working again. This has become a daily problem, presumably I need to contact my internet provider?

Re: CANNOT GET INTO TV
Certain websites or pages will not load while using SMARTDNS so I just change router. It can be a bit of a pain but there's not a lot else that can be done.
Re: CANNOT GET INTO TV
Well now that I have followed Enrique's suggestion to uninstall the updates it is working, but like you I have to sign in every day and SMART say is that I have to get my provider to change the IPS.
I have not bothered I just sign everyday. Just takes a few seconds.

Re: CANNOT GET INTO TV
This is an interesting thread - many of us are keen to be able to get BBC, etc and face difficulties. It would be a pity if it all went via PMs as then we could not learn from the advice given. Please allow topics to continue being public.

Re: CANNOT GET INTO TV
At the time I suggested going to pm all but one message was from just two people. That has now changed. If more people are interested I am happy to allow it to continue.
