Can't access any live channels from the guide

f4s — Wed, 14 Feb 2024 20:08:54 GMT

Just joined EE TV and although I can access various apps below the guide to watch live tv, I cannot access the live programs from the guide itself. When the program is selected I get details of the program at the bottom of the screen, with current play time, then I get the option to start the program from the beginning by pressing the green button and if I ignore this screen goes blank and stays blank. How do you simply select a program and begin watching this without going to the beginning of the program?

I don't have an aerial connected, hoping to stream everything.

Leave it on that blank screen for a bit longer - I suspect an error will appear. Most likely IPC6023. If so, I'm afraid you'll need to give us a call to report it as a fault.

I've left it for 10 mins and the screen is still blank. No sign of any error code.

Ok, that's unusual.
Could I ask you to please launch the EE TV app from the apps menu. Does that launch OK?

Yes. EE TV launched ok.

Just noticed the same probelm when selecting any channel with 'view now' from the home screen. Just end up with a blank screen.

Whilst I can see your attempts to play, unfortunately your box isn't logging any events so I'm unable to see why it's failing.
The best I can suggest at this point is to try a factory reset of the box. If it still fails after, then you'll need to give us a call to report the fault.

OK. I'll attempt a factory reset tomorrow morning and let you know how I get on. What's the best number to report a fault?

As an EE customer it would be 0330 123 1105

Good Morning.

It appears that the selection of channels from the guide or live TV is now working as expected.

Thanks for you help
