There is a new software update for the Horizon. Have you tried to download it? Perhaps it solves the problem.

Good evening. Thank you for the reply. The TV is only a few months old and I have set up automatic software updates. 

I have also set up updates automatically. However, I had to download the update (number 8.1.013 released December 2018) yesterday manually. Subsequently the TV also updated apps like Deezer. I would certainly check the menu of your TV and check if the latest update is active.

Thank you for the advice. I will try and download this most recent update. 

Downloaded recent December update. Same issue will not access i player. States problem loading.

It is not a "you are out of the UK" error message.

It appears to be how the TV is set up somehow. 

Hi

The Android platform on the Horizon has not been updated with the times. Some Android apps no longer support legacy Android TV versions.

I believe the BBC app does work (UK fenced here ), not the Nordvpn 2018 though, which needs 6.0.1 or above. Perhaps an earlier edition is worth searching for.

Beoaus.

Thank you for the advice. I will look at the Nord VPN downloaded app. Unfortunately express VPN which appears the be the VPN of choice to access BBC overseas I am unable to download on the Horizon.

The same I player error (code 0200") has been an issue on Samsung and Sony smart TV's. From reading various forums the fix for those has been a simple factory reset. This does not work with the Horizon.   

When living overseas I used a 'smart' DNS service (rather than VPN) from

Thank you for the advice. I am away from the TV for a while so will revert in due course with success or otherwise. Thanks again!
