If you click the “My provider is not listed” option on the Login screen, you will still be able to watch all content displayed without a lock icon. Live TV, however, will not be available.

The audio plays but the screen is black, the video is slow to load, or the display looks fuzzy.
This app uses adaptive bitrate streaming to optimize the video experience for the user. Therefore, you must use WiFi to ensure you are able to watch the video to the fullest extent. Otherwise, you may experience a video that intermittently plays, or a black screen.
There is no sound on my iOS device.
With the newer operating systems, Apple changed the little button next to the volume to be a mute button. The orientation lock is now handled in software (double click the home button and then swipe left). Try sliding the button up or slide towards you (located above the volume controls).
Visit Apple Support for more information.
If this doesn’t resolve your issue, go to “general settings” and confirm that the side switch is set from rotation to mute.
I am having difficulty downloading the app.
Downloading Watch Food Network works best with a strong WiFi connection. If your session “times out,” you might need to begin the download again. Here’s a tip: temporarily turn off the Auto Lock option on the device. This should prevent “sleep” mode from starting before your download completes.
My app won’t load or quits unexpectedly.
Visit the Apple Troubleshooting Assistant for help resolving many app issues.

What is the Watchlist?

If you save a show to the Watchlist, episodes will be marked with a “New” indicator when new episodes are available to watch. The Watchlist also holds videos you have started watching so you can continue them at another time.
I added a video to my Watchlist but I don’t see it listed.
