What media are you using? then we can answer.

If you are using the internet try this http://www.viewtelly.com/

Both my Mags are working as normal for these channels, and all the rest.

As posted I have two Mag's by different providers, both have all BBC and ITV in full, if you haven't tried this do a "Reboot" failing that contact your provider for an answer.

good luck

BBC News channel seems to have disappeared from the internet period! I have tried all the platforms I know including Viewtelly. I can still get BBC World News and Sky International. There are also a number of "blackouts" due coverage restrictions of the Olympics! We will see if everything returns to normal after it's finished!!

Hello Pat what system are you using to watch IPTV?


http://www.viewtelly.com/


You could try the above, if you are trying to watch the Olympics it maybe being blocked by the Beeb, you can watch all BBC programs on that link.

Both my Mags are 100% normal, no help to you if you do not have one though, but try that link.

Hi. I just have a laptop plugged into the TV via 5m HDMI. Viewtelly is what I normally use. BBC News has gone along with the icon. I tried various other site and did an internet search. It's gone from all I looked at! The only thing I haven't done is tried a vpn to BBC site!

Nope! Just get this error message: File reading failed:
VLC could not open the file (Bad file descriptor).

Hi Pat,

You should not have a problem there are quite a few channels available, not all, I do not know how long it will be available for but it has been fine for the last week.

For example:
Sky news: http://iptv.uktv.media/channels/bbcnews.m3u8
BBC1: http://iptv.uktv.media/channels/bbc1-l.m3u8
BBC2: http://iptv.uktv.media/channels/bbc2.m3u8
ITV: http://iptv.uktv.media/channels/itv1-l.m3u8
Chan4: http://iptv.uktv.media/channels/chan4.m3u8
Chan5: http://93.190.142.103/channels/chan5.m3u8
Sky News: http://iptv.uktv.media/channels/skynews.m3u8

Just copy the link and paste into your media player like vlc.

Regards
