Hi
I have a Samsung 7 series Smart TV.
My ISP is BT and the supplied router is Smart Hub 2. My broadband package is BT FTTP 150Mbps.
I have installed smart IPTV app using a USB stick. I am currently subscribed with an IPTV provider.
I notice that sometimes ( particularly weekends ), the channels do not load. SmartIPTV app shows the channel list but when I choose a channel, I get CONNECTING.... and it stays there and eventually says CONNECTION FAILED.
I did an experiment today when IPTV channels were not showing and found this :
-WIRED connection to router - no change
-WIRELESS connection to router - no change
-WIRELESS connection to Mobile hotspot on my phone - works!
-Opening M3U playlist on my PC in VLC - works!
I have manually added IP, DNS ( first BT and then 8.8.8.8 ) and this did not work either.
My IPTV provider thinks that I may be blocked due to geo-location thingy and provide me with a new link for a M3U playlist but that mde no difference on the TV.
What's the best way around this? Thanks.
