Basic Troubleshooting for VIZIO Smart TV

For general video/audio/display issues with your VIZIO Smart TV, please visit this page or contact VIZIO Support.

1. Ensure you don't have a network/router-level ad blocker.
Please check to see if your Wi-Fi router has built-in ad-blocking features. If so, you may need to disable that feature or add cwtv.com to your allow list in order to view our videos. Every router has different instructions, so please consult your router’s instructions.

2. Ensure you aren't connected to a VPN.
