Apologies to the mods if this doesn’t fit the sub, but I don’t know what other community would be best to ask this as it IS PlayStation related….

But, seriously- how does this even work. I got an update a while ago with an advert that free live TV is a thing now, but it’s never worked. Like, not even one time.

It just says:

Live TV on PS5 Isn’t Available Right Now. We’re having trouble connecting to Live TV services. Try checking back later.

And it never connects.

Okay, I figured it out. You have to go into Settings, and then System, and then Web Browser and then turn on:
