FreeviewPlay Terms & Conditions blocking all Freeview-related channels on Panasonic TV (UK)

by enslavedbytime

I picked up a Panasonic Android TV a couple of weeks ago. The apps worked OK at first, but now all the apps related to a Freeview channel (BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4) are unusable.

On startup, they show a screen "FreeviewPlay Accept Terms" saying I need to accept the T&Cs. There are two buttons, Cancel and Terms & Conditions. If I select Terms & Conditions then nothing happens for a bit, then the app exits.

Is this a known issue? Are there workarounds? Or do I just have to hope that the apps get updated to fix this?

This evening the TV rebooted, and the problem seems to have resolved itself.

I guess this is the kind of bullshit I have to worry about now that I have a smart TV.
