    Hi I have a jvc 4K hdr tv. Up until last night it was connecting to the internet allowing my son to watch Netflix/you tube etc but all smart functions have stopped working and it is saying that the tv is not connected to to the internet. I’ve unplugged the tv and the WiFi router and still it hasn’t come back on. Is there anything else I can try?
