Is ERT News down right now?
Check the ERT News status line here and the latest ERT News down reports from viewers. Matching reports about a dead live stream or a frozen app point to trouble at ertnews.gr itself.
Quiet reports shift the blame home, to one device or one network. A second screen in the same house loading the stream cleanly settles the question fast. Test the live player and one article. A player that spins while articles open clean means the stream alone is hit.
Is ERT News down for me or everyone?
Open ertnews.gr on phone data. If the stream plays there, your home network blocks it. If it fails on both and reports rise, an ERT News outage is affecting viewers everywhere.
Watching the live channel on ertnews.gr
The live player on ertnews.gr streams the ERT News channel around the clock. Viewers press play and follow bulletins, live events and press conferences as they happen.
Articles sit beside the player with the same stories in text form. Readers who cannot watch video follow the rolling text flow under the live window instead. The flow carries the same facts as the bulletins, written by the same newsroom.
How alerts and sections work in the ERTNEWS app
The ERTNEWS app sends breaking news alerts to your phone and sorts stories into sections you pick. Readers set their favourite topics in the app settings and share articles from the share icon. The flow itself comes in Greek from ERT newsrooms and regional stations. The app asks for no account, so the first open runs straight into the news.
Listening to the First Programme inside the ERTNEWS app
The app carries a live player for the First Programme radio beside the TV player. Listeners keep the news running as audio while the phone screen rests. The player also lists the radio schedule, so you can jump to a named programme as it starts.
What the live blog does on big news days on ertnews.gr
Running stories get a live blog that stacks short updates at the top. Elections, fires and major trials unfold there minute by minute, with photos and clips added as they land. The blog stays open after the event as a full record of the day.
Common ERT News Problems and Fixes
Viewers report a spinning live player, an app that shuts on open and alerts that stop without warning on ERT News. The repairs below start with the player. The app fixes come next, then the radio stream and the live blog.
Live stream spins without starting
Reload the ertnews.gr live page and press play once more. If it still spins, lower the quality in the player menu and give the stream a lighter load.
ERTNEWS app shuts on open
Update the app from your store, then restart the phone. The ERTNEWS app crashes most often on an old build meeting new stream settings.
Breaking alerts stopped arriving
Open the app settings and switch breaking news alerts off and back on. Then check the phone settings and allow ERTNEWS notifications there too.
Radio stream cuts out mid programme
Keep the app in front or lock the screen with the player open. Phones that sleep the app in the background cut the First Programme stream short.
Live blog stops updating
Pull down to refresh the live blog page on ertnews.gr. The blog adds entries at the top, and a long open page can miss the newest ones.
