Kodi Freeview
I've recently purchased a smart TVs box but Freeview doesn't work. I live in the UK so don't understand why.
Any ideas? Some other apps that were already installed don't work either. I assume they are blocked by my internet provider as they are foreign. |

What box have you got and what exactly do you mean by Freeview doesn't work? Freeview is a TV service delivered by an aerial, though there are a few streaming services on the platform.
Or do you mean the streaming services provided by the broadcasters, like the BBC iPlayer? |

It's this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Android-Ton...ct_top?ie=UTF8 The streaming app installed on the box doesn't work. I thought it would stream through my wifi like the other apps do, well most of the others! |

FTV (kodi Addon) or TVPlayer (android app) should both work to some degree -but an aerial is a much better solution.
What android app or kodi addon are you using? |

Download tvplayer from the google play store to your android box a perfectly legitment way to get freeview plus gives you option to subscribe to channels such as comedy central for £4.99p/m if you want 30 extra channels https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...layer&hl=en_GB

What streaming app? Without specific details no-one can help as there are hundreds of different apps that can stream video content.
Or do you mean Kodi? That is not a streaming app as such, it is a very capable media player but you have to specify what you want it to stream, either manually or you can get various plug ins that do the job for you. But by itself it doesn't have any content. |

Within Kodi or a separate app installed on your box?
Would purchasing IPVanish help? |

I assume, as you haven't said otherwise, you are in the UK, so you shouldn't need a VPN.

I don't believe it, it's like when you go to the bloody doctors and whatever was wrong is suddenly better.
It works now! Bit of lag but I may get rid of that if I connect the Ethernet instead. 😳😳😳 |

One app that seems to work well is mediahhh where you can get all of the popular freeview channels. You can also add BBC iplayer and most of the catch up services.
