Freely channels not working
If you're having trouble accessing some Freely channels, these steps below would help to get them working again.
Step 1 - Check for errors and known issues
- Error code on screen: If you see an error code (like ETV104), visit the Freely Error Code Checker on their website for an immediate diagnosis.
- Known issues: Check the Freely website for updates or alerts about current problems affecting specific channels or regions.
Step 2 - Check your internet connection
- Test your speed: Freely recommends a minimum internet speed of 10 Mbps for reliable live TV. Run a speed test on your phone or computer at fast.com to check.
- Check you're connected: Freely channels stream over the internet, so make sure your PLEIO is connected to your Wi-Fi network. Check this in System Settings or test other household devices.
- Power cycle everything: Unplug your router and your PLEIO from the wall, wait five minutes, then plug them back in. This simple step often fixes most issues.
Step 3 - Update your software
- Make sure your PLEIO's system software and the Freely app are fully up to date.
- Go to **Settings > Help > Update **Services to check for updates.
Step 4 - Reinstall Freely
Although Freely channels update automatically, you can also do this manually:
- Go to Settings > Freely Settings > Uninstall Services
- Then select 'Install Services' just above
