    The majority of connections affected by the recent issue within our partner's cloud platform have now been restored, with the remaining affected connections continuing to recover steadily.

    Our partners are continuing to closely monitor the situation to ensure services return to full stability. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience while recovery efforts continue.

    We will provide further updates if there are any significant developments.

    Thank you for your patience and understanding.

    Investigating

    Shortly before 08:00 this morning, we were notified by one of our technology partners of an issue within their cloud infrastructure that may be causing intermittent connectivity disruptions for some customers.

    The root cause has been identified, and our partner's engineering team is actively working to restore full service. Recovery began at approximately 08:00; however, this is a gradual process, and efforts are ongoing to accelerate the restoration of normal service.

    Customers using the Plume Home app may notice that their devices, pods, or network are incorrectly showing as offline or unavailable. This is a reporting issue within the platform and, in many cases, internet connectivity remains unaffected despite the app displaying an error. If your internet service is working normally, no action is required at this time.

    At present, the issue has the potential to affect all customers, although we have seen only limited impact reported.

    We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and will continue to provide updates as further information becomes available.


    Thank you for your patience and understanding.

    Important Information for WightFibre TV Customers

     

    Freely is currently investigating an issue affecting all Freely TV devices, including the WightFibre TV PLEIO box.

     

    Customers may experience:

     

    • Black screens on some channels

    • Channel streaming errors (including ETV6056)

    • Certain channels failing to load correctly

     

    Current Advice from Freely:

     

    Whilst Freely works on a permanent fix, customers are advised to:

     

    - Continue watching live TV channels through the TV Guide where possible.

    - BBC channels and BBC iPlayer can continue to be used as normal.

    - Other streaming apps that are not part of the Freely platform, such as Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and YouTube, can continue to be used as normal.

     

    - Avoid using the Restart feature on Freely channels where possible.

    - Avoid using Freely player apps, including:

     

    • ITVX

    • Channel 4

    • My5

     

    Freely has advised that using these services may cause the issue to reoccur.

     

    We're continuing to work closely with our partners and will provide further updates as soon as a permanent fix becomes available.

     

    We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

    We are aware of an issue affecting some customers using Freely, where certain channels may display a black screen or error code ETV6056.

    Freely has confirmed that the issue is linked to a recent update to Microsoft's PlayReady DRM system, which has impacted a small number of device types and chipsets. Their team is continuing to work on a permanent fix.

    What should I do if I'm affected?

    If you are experiencing channel streaming issues, Freely advises performing a factory reset on your device. This should restore access to affected channels.

    Please note that while a permanent solution is being developed, there is a possibility the issue could reoccur if:

    • You use the Restart feature on a channel, or

    • You launch content through a player app

    Freely channels can still be accessed directly through the TV Guide.

    Latest Updates

    Customers are encouraged to check Freely's support page for the latest information and guidance:

    We appreciate your patience while Freely works to fully resolve this issue and will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
