Baldrick Posted August 27, 2020 Share I either need to kidnap an 8 year old to help or ask for assistance here.Netflix has stopped working on our TV. I get an Error NW-2-4 which means network connectivity issues and have gone though all the troubleshooting steps. I can still browse the internet via the TV so it's not a networking error. I have tried to reload the app but still no luck. What next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Native smart TV apps stop working because their software are generally not updated alongside the apps run on it. Once an app needs to update down the line it might not be compatible with the current operating system. Google's media players at least provide updates for their systems.

NateChat Posted August 27, 2020 Share They come preloaded with the netflix app. Bonus is there are other apps that one can also load which gives tons of content. Baldrick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane_Bosch Posted August 27, 2020 Share Are these things easy to setup?It's pretty much a tablet but you use the TV as the screen. Load apps from the playstore or you can skollie load apps from the internet. Most will come with some stuff like the M-Net app pre loaded and pretty much all will have netflix pre loaded. I even run Rouvy on mine. Well. not anymore but I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefmeister Posted August 27, 2020 Share Are these things easy to setup?Basically plug n play. Just connect to your network and sign in with your google account and you should be able to use all the preloaded app straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowbee Posted August 27, 2020 Share Are these things easy to setup?It really is plug and play. The only tricky part is figuring out the remote to hook up the wifi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure that is you get a google certified unit, and it comes with google play store. otherwise you are going to go through endless issues. netflix wont play etc, Are these things easy to setup?connect, switch on,m log in, play They come preloaded with the netflix app. Bonus is there are other apps that one can also load which gives tons of content.so much choices, Rocket-Boy and Grebel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateChat Posted August 27, 2020 Share I've had service with the Xiami mi. Only draw back is there's no ethernet port but you can get an adapter if that's a deal breaker. The new one also has 4k, haven't tested it yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertusras Posted August 27, 2020 Share I've been a longstanding fan of Google Chromecast, but I recently bought a Xiaomi Mi TV Stick off Takealot for the living room, and it is so much easier to use. Granted, my home is pretty well connected with media servers and things, but the ease of use by remote is fantastic. And you can use Chromecast as well, win-win. Unfortunately it's out of stock, but at R899 it's a definite winner. Rocket-Boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadenceblur Posted August 27, 2020 Share I would get the box instead though as it has more functionality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
