When things go wrong with your network, the app is going to crash and will not allow you to access the content that you want to watch.

  2. Unplug your TV from the wall.
  3. Wait a minimum 45 seconds, and plug the TV back in.
  4. Turn your TV back on.

  1. Press the ‘Menu’ key on your remote.
  2. Navigate to’ Support’, and then to ‘Self-diagnosis’.
