Playback may not work as expected on aetv.com if you have an ad blocker enabled on your web browser or if you have strict security settings on your device or network.
If you do have an ad blocker on, you can find instructions below on how to disable your ad blocker:
Google Chrome
Microsoft Edge
Firefox
Safari & Apple iOS devices
If you do not have an ad blocker but are seeing this error, there are a few reasons this could be occurring:
- Playback on a school or work network with strict security settings can cause the ad blocker message to appear. If you're at school or work, we recommend reaching out to your network administrator to have them adjust the network settings that are preventing you from accessing our website.
- Your device’s operating system or web browser may be out-of-date and/or not supported. Check this article for the minimum system requirements for video playback on our website: What browsers/operating systems are supported?
- Temporarily disable any firewall, antivirus, VPN or privacy software that may be running on your device or web browser to check whether that is causing the conflict.
- The ad blocking or content restrictions may be set on your router, rather than your device. If you have advanced security features or ad blocking set up on your router, please try disabling those features on your router and check whether playback resumes.
