I am also having similar issues . Funny thing is , I side loaded the tablet version and it worked fine . There are a couple of things I am currently wondering . Although I bought the device in the US , I am streaming with it in Canada . Wonder if Netflix is getting confused with my Canadian IP . Since the TV app is supposed to stream in higher quality , Netflix is pickier on the device it runs on and checks DRM , which may even run as deep as the HDMI connection . I . e . if a well negotiated connection with the TV is not established , it drops the stream . I ' ll be able to test this soon . Factory reset did nothing for me . Any other insights ? Edit Plugged it into a newer Sony bravia TV and watched for hours with no interruptions . The problem seems to related to dhcp handshaking at least for me . The setup that was NOT workingMi Box Plugged into Denon AVR 3311 ci , Denon AV 3311 ci Plugged into Sharp Aquos older non 4 k led TV . I ' ll try updating the amp ' s and TVs firmware one of these days and report back
