TV pro box Netflix app problem

Problem with my EE TV pro box Netflix app.

This app keeps kicking me off Netflix after approx 4 minutes of watching on Netflix. This as been happening since end of March and after several reboots of both hub and TV pro box and a new box sent to me. This problem is still happening. 

Now I have been told that it's a Netflix update problem and they are trying to fix it. A call to Netflix and I was told they have no record of an update problem therefore, who is telling me the truth? Does anyone else have this problem?

I agree, problem with EE' interface and not Netflix. I can watch Netflix on my Monitor all in one using the same Netflix account. I want to watch in evening on my TV in the lounge with my partner, not on my Monitor.

@DC120 your setup doesn't match the profile of all the other Netflix issues. Can you please confirm that your symptoms are the same - i.e. you start the app, watch video, and it terminates itself after a few minutes?

EE doesn't have an interface with Netflix @Unbated - Netflix have created a version of their app to run on YouView boxes.  That app appears to have a bug that isn't specific to the box (as it affects more than one box in the same home, and replacing the box doesn't make a difference).  All signs so far suggest that the Netflix app doesn't react well to something about the network - possibly speed, possibly routes. They still don't know.

Same for me. Been through everything. Broadband, Wi-Fi, reset on the EE TV Box. 
Just got off with Netflix who said I needed to reset my EE TV Box. So I did it again.

No change.

Prime and Apple work fine. 

Both our Pro Box and Mini are hard wired so no speed issues. FYI

If you could include me too please. 
it affects my masculinity not being able to fix it in front of my wife 😃🤣😃

What I don’t understand is, I was onto Netflix about this today.

There was no mention of an issue. 
or is that company policy or help desk in the Philippines not aware ?

How come your staff at EE Helpdesk are not aware that the Netflix issue is not an EE one ?

I only spoke with EE Helpdesk today 18/05/2026

Yours doesn't match the expected profile either @DC120 - is it consistently crashing the app and going back to the main screen within a few minutes of starting something on Netflix?

It will crash and sometimes say that it needs to restart Netflix and other times I have to come out of Netflix completely and start again.
