Issues affecting Freeview On Demand smart TV app on some Samsung TVs
There're some issues affecting the Freeview On Demand smart TV app on some Samsung TVs, preventing the app and some shows from loading correctly.
The problem appears to be most prevalent on older Samsung TVs.
A hotfix is being developed by the platform development team to address this.
More updates to follow.

Update MONDAY 11 NOVEMBER:
A hotfix was deployed late Friday 8 November to resolve this issue.
If your TV continues to experience issues, please reboot it:
1. Power off the TV;
2. Unplug from wall socket & wait some time (e.g. 10 minutes) before plugging it back in;
3. Power the TV on, giving it enough time to connect to WIFI, before trying to open the Freeview On Demand app.

Update THURSDAY 14 NOVEMBER:
Freeview is aware that the changes deployed on Friday 8th to the Freeview On Demand app have not resolved the issues for everyone and some users with 2016 Samsung TVs are still getting a black screen when launching the app. Freeview continues to investigate the issue and is collaborating with Samsung to understand why the changes fixed the issue for some but not all.

No 2016 isint old especially when you pay good money for them. My freeview on demand came right this afternoon. 1.117 update dated 31st October 2019 obviously updated today.
I reckon I have had a black screen since 31st october and there must of been something with that update and they must of fixed it as it's working beautifully now

Hey everyone,
The developers of the app rolled back changes yesterday afternoon to address this problem. The fix automatically comes into effect (as it's on the web-based backend of the app) so you shouldn't need to do anything.
Please complete this fault report form here if you're still experiencing the "black screen" issue while trying to load Freeview On Demand. The form captures key device details, such as the TV model number & internet connection type, useful in the troubleshooting process.
Otherwise, thanks for your patience and happy viewing!
Cheers
Bel
