Hi all, Every time i try to load ABC iView on the Telstra TV it just crashes back to whatever interface i was on before i tried to load it. i have tried deleting the app and reinstalling it multiple times, sometimes with a reset in between and still have had no success. Can anyone please help?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Having same problem. Rang 132200 as suggested. First person I spoke too seemed more interested in selling me extra services than fixing the problem. Eventually put through to Telstra TV specialist who admitted there was a problem but inform that me that it was a ABC iview problem and told to report problem to ABC iview direct. https://iviewsupport.abc.net.au/contact Was told that the ABC iview app on Telstra TV was designed by ABC iview staff.
Was this helpful?
Thank you for your feedback
Thank you for your feedback
Thanks for coming through. Appreciate your patience in this. Certainly not the experience we aim to provide.
Is it only the ABC app that's doing this, or are all of the FTA catchup channel apps problematic?
What about youtube, does that launch okay? - Matthew.

We are also experiencing the same issues, all other apps works fine (including youtube) only the ABC app has the issue ie will not load
The issue appeared to start after a software update. I have reset and re-loaded the SW several times with no effect.
Note: the ABC app works fine when using the ABC app from the TV direct, thus I believe the issue sits with the Telstra TV unit.
Hi @Lslat,
Our Technical Support team will be best to troubleshoot further and can be reached on 132200 and say 'Telstra TV Technical Support'. Let us know how you go.

Same issue here, only specific to Telstra TV and only for the ABC iView app. All of our Telstra TV's have the same problem. Factory resetting didn't help, using different internet connections didn't help. Seems to be an issue with the ABC iView app on the Telstra TV only.
Contacted ABC iView last week, and received this response:
We will pass this information on to the development team.
Hopefully we will have an update for you soon.
In the meantime, as an alternative way to access iview on your TV, it is possible to connect your PC to your TV using an HDMI cable. This would allow you to mirror what you see on your PC on your TV screen. If you are unfamiliar with the process, check out this video on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s532CgZNrMg
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience in the interim.
It's an odd issue. If you delete the app and reinstall it, the iView app will completely crash from now on and you can't use it anymore.
Anyone who hasn't reinstalled/downloaded the app or recently set up their Telstra TV lately might still be able to use it, might be thanks to the cache. Either way, definitely related to the app trying to reach something on the iView servers and then crashing as it can't get whatever it wants from there.
I'll provide an update if I hear back from the iView Support Team, if an app update is released, or if it starts working again.

No further responses from the iView Support Team as of yet.
No updates to the iView app either, last updated 23 Aug 2018.
Same same here. New Telstra TV box. Everything else works fine except iView
Yes it is possible to mirror the screen of devices that support miracast to Telstra TV. Some androids devices version 4.1 and later versionsions and most Windows PCs support miracast. Miracast is built into Windows 8 and 10 but some android device require a app such as local cast. Apple devices don’t support miracast.
iView Support has let me know that the issue is now resolved, and the iView app has been updated.
Thanks for the patience while we were working on the Telstra TV issue.
We have just released a fix for the issue and you can be up and viewing again after updating the firmware on your Telstra TV device.
I had the same problem. Whilst playing with the settings I changed my resolution from 1080 to 720 and iview worked. Got no idea why this is but all is well.
That's right, Telstra TV's auto update once every 24 hours, so the issue will resolve itself by tomorrow for everyone, or you can manually update for the fix to arrive right now (if it hasn't yet).
