Interesting. I had been having trouble with the iView app on my smart TV recently. It wasn't a connectivity issue as SBS on demand and the web browser were working OK - but iView stated to open and then went to a blank grey screen. Tried the usual restarting the TV, modem, router etc but the TV continued to work with SBS on demand but not iView.
Then tried again, last night, and iView was working again. May not be relevant or related. May be my Smart TV having problems with the iView app. Maybe iView doing modifications to the streaming setup at their server (has given temporary problems in the past). Who knows? Anyway, I found it interesting that we both seemed to have iView come good at (roughly) the same time - could just be a coincidence though ;o) Cheers Neil -- Neil R.

Apple TV was reset to factory settings with latest OS. Now the iview app works. Cause of the problem was not identified. I suspect it was the iview app. My suggestion for others is to delete the app and then reinstall it as the first step. Apple TV settings infer software updates occur when the app is activated. This may not be true. The automatically reinstalled app after the system reset displayed a blue dot inferring it was a new version.
