If the software of your device is up to date and you still cannot connect, try all possible reset options via the TV's menu;

- Clear Net TV memory (2009 TV’s) Clear Apps memory (2010 & 2011 TV’s) or clear Internet Memory (2012 TV’s).

- Reset to factory defaults

- Reinstall TV.


If that did not bring result; `

Change settings for “Dynamic IP” into “Static IP” or vice versa in your TV (or Bluray player).
