Access to Acorn TV is only working intermittently. Two issues we've come across include: a) Users being asked to sign in again when re-directed from RBdigital to Acorn TV's website; b) A user arriving at the “Welcome Back to Acorn TV” screen and not being able to access the rest of the site.
We have contacted the vendor for support. We will update the website when more information becomes available. We apologize for the inconvenience.
