    UBOX 3 - Netflix keeps buffering. Why?

    Has anyone encountered this problem? When I select any movie or show on Netflix it plays for a little bit and then buffers. How do I fix this problem? Is this an internet problem? Something I can fix/adjust in my UBOX 3 settings? Please help, thanks!

    Try it on a phone or laptop - if it does then as well it may be a Netflix/account issue.... at least you can rule that out.

    On both phone and laptop it works just fine. It's only through the netflix app on the ubox 3 that it buffers. All the other apps on the ubox work just fine. I've never had a buffering problem, only with netflix. Do you have any idea what might be the issue?

    uninstall the app and then re-install it, clear storage memory as well not sure if it helps but it does help the system run better.

    I was on UBOX 4 and memory keeps running out, some apps dont load or cant update etc did my head in so I went and bought Ubox pro 2 over the week end. Back to smooth operations woohoo

    Use a legitimate netflix account and you wont have these issue, do you not have a smart TV with Netflix built in?

    If you dont want to pay for it, ask one of you friends to give you a spare login on their account (they get 3 additional slots i think)

    I must be missing something here- how can someone use Netflix without a legitimate account? Are there services that just rebroadcast out Netflix streams realtime?
