I did this hours ago and, ever since, whenever I try to access the All 4 app I get the following message:
"Smart Hub is being updated. Please try again later".
Does anyone know how to fix this? If not I'll have to have my first go at casting from my tablet.
Cheers.

Completely power down your tv leave for 60 seconds then switch back on, that normally fixes this issue for my Samsung tv.

Pay-TV’s push back against streaming is building, however. Two industry sources revealed that last year Virgin Media was close to a deal to add Amazon’s streaming service to its subscription packages, before its parent company Liberty Global stepped in to pull the plug. It is understood the pan-European cable giant held fears about the long-term threat Amazon could pose to its pay-TV business. |
Come on OB; get over it and use your Roku!

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
The first feature on tonight's One Show was about the Digital Economy Act which can lead to those viewing content unlawfully going prison for up to 10 years. One man has been sent to prison for 4 years.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0916h81
Is this a real threat to such users or simply scaremongering?

He was sent to prison for selling the boxes.
Those who are simply just streaming are fine for now, those who are tech wise and know how to use a vpn will be fine.

I expect the same from you and Dave as soon as I mention Sky Atantic, which doubtless will be coming to our screens very soon!

Can I make my own prediction? And I'll eat that straw hat if I'm wrong!
Sky Atlantic will be offered to VM at a reasonable price once Game of Thrones ends next year!

You could well be right buckeye and seeing you are much nicer to me OB will still face his likely sentence of eating that straw hat sooner rather then later.

From the banter on these forums I'm guessing OB could make a few PPV pennies by live streaming his hat eating exploits
