Channel 5 problem

alphamike · Post by **alphamike** » Sun 05 Feb 2023 5:17 pm

Is anyone here able to watch Channel 5 at the moment? Not working for me, and no idea if this has been for a while, as I rarely watch it. Just wanting to check before I start fiddling about and contacting smartdnsproxy. Would particularly like to know if anyone else using smartdnsproxy can watch anything. All other UK channels are fine.

Thanks Groucho, definitely a problem at my end then.

I occasionally have problems with Channel 5 in that it just freezes. I use a firestick but some nights it is fine and others I just can't watch it at all.

Thanks CJTill. Suppose you could call my problem freezing of sorts too, it comes up as if to play, but no play button. Tried it on several different browsers on laptop, turned off all extensions, cleared cookies, cache and history, restarted laptop for good measure and still no joy.
I did forget that I've got the app on ipad, so tried on that and it worked, so it's not a problem with smartdnsproxy at all. No idea what the problem is, but have watched the programme now, so all good.
