Netflix hasn't worked in several weeks. Wife spend five hours on phone trying to get it reset. Nothing. Netflix absolutely sucks.
netflix has been troublesome lately ... we use a hard-wired roku and our comcast tests at greater than 40 mbs and other channels like prime work perfectly ... yet netflix consistently fails to start without trying several times ... been that way for a few days ...
“I am finding less and less to watch on NFLX. We just signed up for a trial of Hulu and I was pleased to see that every Seinfeld episode is available there.”
My kid is a Hulugan. I love Hulu, but I do have other apps on my firestick for movies.
Some months back Netflix jacked the prices by $2/month and passed on that cost to T-Mobile customers.
One of my TVs has aged out too. I use Chromecast a $39 device. You dont need $69 version right now. It uses your pad or phone and their app as the interface. It’s far easier than using my Sony DVD or Playstation to acess Netflix. Roku and Firestick also work but they use a separate remote. Also since Amazon is a direct competitor of Netflix for a long time they blocked Netflix that’s changed after Chromecast blocked Prime a year or so ago.
Pad and Chromecast have to be on same network but once program starts you can use pad or phone for anything else.
I use it for Netflix, Prime, YouTube, Hoopla, Kanopy, PlutoTV and a couple other services.
I just unplug the TV from the power source for 30 seconds or so and then plug it back in. It always reboots and works fine after that. It's like a computer when a application locks up and you get the spinning beachball of death.
Just restart it and it sorts itself out and works just fine. Rarely, but it does happen occasionally, where I have to reboot my AT&T U-verse modem and let it scroll from off to working again.
If that doesn't work, maybe your HTMI port has gone bad on your TV. Mine did when I was using a ROKU stick and couldn't get it to live-stream. TV worked but the port went bad. I just bought a smart TV, eliminated the ROKU stick and have had no significant problems since.
If you still have troubles, dump Netflix and subscribe to some other live-steaming content service like Amazon Prime or Hulu.
This is technology you're dealing with. Not some bum at Netflix who's deliberately sabotaging your system.
Somehow I watched that entire movie and never realized that Adam Sandler was the main character!
Yes, even though he is often goofy on camera, Adam Sandler is a conservative!
I second that. I was just going to write the same thing.
