Worth doing first

The most common message we get from someone on their first night in a new country is that the app will not install. It is almost always one of the three things below, and all three are far easier to sort out on a connection you trust.

Open the install guides

  • Android and Fire TV need installs from unknown sources switched on before anything will run. Our guides show exactly where that setting hides on each.
  • Windows may warn about an unrecognised publisher. Choose More info, then Run anyway, and it installs normally.
  • A player with no subscription shows an empty list, not an error. Have your details from the account page open before you start.
  • Sign in once at home so the channel list is cached. It then opens far faster on hotel or airport Wi-Fi.
