PBS not working? Try these fixes
- If the app opens but videos won't play, sign out and back in, then restart the TV or streaming stick.
- Check that your subscription is active and that you haven't hit the plan's limit on simultaneous streams.
- Lower the playback quality. Buffering at high quality usually points to your connection, not an outage.
- Streaming services often fail during big premieres and live events, so outages tend to be short.
- Try another device or network, for example mobile data instead of Wi-Fi.
- Hard-refresh the page (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + R) or open it in a private window.
- Flush your DNS cache, or switch your DNS to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8.
- Turn off your VPN, ad blocker or other browser extensions and try again.
Questions
Is PBS down right now?
We checked PBS just now and it was up. The server answered with HTTP 301 in 264 ms.
Why is PBS not working for me?
If our check shows PBS is up, the problem is most likely on your side: your network, DNS, browser extensions, or an outdated app. Try the steps above. If it shows down, the problem is on PBS's end and you'll need to wait for them to fix it.
How often do you check PBS?
Every 10 minutes, around the clock. Failed checks are retried once before they're recorded, and we keep 30 days of history.
Where do your checks come from?
From a single server in a data center. A site can be down in one region and up in another, so an outage that only affects some countries may not show up here.
