Netflix through Telus Optik TV Menu

[Laura1980]

When I access Netflix through the optik tv menu, I get an error message after watching one episode of pretty much any show saying that the app in unavailable.... what is going on? It's a constant battle of Netflix kicking me out. I only have one tv/Telus box and I can watch Netflix on my iPad with no issues. Is anyone else having this problem constantly? So frustrating!

Also, resetting my PVR is not the solution. Been there, done that. Doesn't help.

Code 0 is usually an app crash error (rather generic). The CIS430 is fairly old hardware, you stated you've done the reboot. Upon reboot you can replicate the code 0.

Sometimes there has been issues with the app that seem to correct itself in a day or two.

If it still persists in a few days. I suggest calling Telus for diagnosis and possible replacement PVR. If Telus exchanges your PVR you will lose ALL recorded shows. Only your scheduled recordings (times) are transferred to the new hardware.

The lastest 4K PVR or 6015 PVR has a substantial speed increase (more responsive and fluid).

What model PVR do you currently have? Also what error code do you receive.

I'm not sure! How can I tell?

[WestCoasterBC]

Menu>Settings>General>System Information

Current model will be displayed under "Digital box"

For the PVR model how can I tell? I'll get the error code as soon as it pops up again.....

The PVR is a Cisco cis430-gn1-b and I either get the "something went wrong" error message when I try to log in or more often the error that comes up is in the bright green Telus font and says "sorry, the application you have tried to access is temporarily unavailable. Please try again." The error code is 0 and you have to select ok to get out of the screen. It happens consistently when Netflix tries to roll over to the next episode after the standard 30 second window.

Maybe you can try turning off Auto-Play so that the next episode doesn't automatically start.  That might get rid of that particular error.  Not sure if you can turn off Auto-Play from the Telus Netflix app but if you go to Netflix on your iPad or a computer you find Auto-Play under the Playback Settings options of Account settings.

I had an issue with Netflix booting me after ~ 20 minutes. Noticed you could probably cook an egg on top of cable box ( new 4K box ) it was that hot, solution for me was I elevated the box using spacers to allow airflow around the hot box. Problem has gone away. The box sits about 2” above my blue ray player.
