Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Nice. I presume its geoblocked? Absolutely the direction Saorview should be moving towards. Saorview Connect is not where they should be going.

    It would be geoblocked yes.
    You also have to have each of the players themselves downloaded so it seems it is just a platform to launch them. If the player isn't great or has lots of ads then it would be an issue.

    It could be very handy on a tv too. No need for satellite dish.

    There is a similar feature on the Freesat app, on demand brings you to the various players, but they geo blocked.

    It is not quite the same. The freesat tv guide doesn't give direct access to the live programme whereas the freeview app seems to allow one to watch by going to the What's On section and just playing the current programme.

    Looks similar to the Freeview app on my LG TV. It's good at giving an overview of what is available to watch.
