Restart your TV
The old “switch it on and off” routine. Overused but it can often help resolve the issue. Press and hold the ⌽ Power button on your remote for 8 seconds, then let go. You're TV will then begin to restart.
Check your cables
Depending on your setup, you may be using one of these methods of connection. Follow the instructions according to your setup:
Direct Ethernet cable
Check the cable hasn’t been damaged and is firmly connected to the back of your YouView box and to the back of your router.
Powerline Adapters
Check both adaptors are plugged in and powered on. Make sure the Ethernet cables are connected firmly to the adapters, your router and your YouView box and all 3 lights on both adapters are on.
We recommend connecting your powerline adapters directly to a wall socket instead of an extension lead for the best results.
Wi-Fi connection
Check your Wi-Fi signal is working around the rest of the home. Try using it on a mobile device for example. If you are having issues connecting the TV to Wi-Fi.
Aerial
Depending on your Sony TV model, you may need an aerial in order to receive the full selection of apps available. If you are missing some apps, try plugging the aerial in, retune the TV and try again.
Check your network connection status
You may be successfully connected to your router but you may not have Internet access.
Check your connection status:
Press the HOME button on your remote
Scroll down to Settings
Select Network
Select Advanced settings
Select Network status
Select Check connection
Choose Yes
Here you can see if you have internet access.
Restart your router
