Hi,
Now TV on ps3 loads fine but then doesn't respond to any commands from the controller. Other apps working fine. I've uninstalled, cleared app data and reinstalled without any improvement.
Any help?

Hi @Anonymous User

 

Thanks for posting, sorry to hear you've had issues signing in on your account. Can you try deleting the app and re-installing as mentioned above and then try changing the password and making sure all the settings details are correct such as time, date and location.

 

Let us know if you still get the error message.

 

Cheers

No jammed buttons, works fine in other apps. One thing I've noticed is you can't activate the controller while it's charging. I need to unplug, turn it on and then reconnect if it needs charged. Not sure if that is relevant.

Hi,
Both controllers are official and worked fine previously. The freeze happens as soon as now TV opens in unable to navigate away from the whatever is initially highlighted, when I reloaded now TV I was unable to move away from or select sign in for example.

Hi @Anonymous User, 

 

Thanks for getting in touch and letting us know. 

 

The problem controller - Does it have any jammed buttons? 

 

Thanks,

Actually a further observation, this may be linked to a specific controller (which works perfectly with all the other apps). Now TV only started working when I used a different controller after the safe mode stage . Whenever I added the "problem " controller back into the set up in slot two to test it, both then stopped working apart from the quit button.
Any idea why now TV and this controller don't get along?

Thanks Sue S,
Two notes on what you said for the benefit of others in this situation, I don't have a manage downloads option under network and you didn't tell me what to do once in safe mode. I opted for the restore file system and it seems to have worked, the problem seems resolved, thanks.
