    I'm trying to watch it but Netflix is not loading on the Amazon Fire box at the moment. I am resetting it!

    I have to reboot my router to get my smart tv online. Way too frequently for my liking!

    I just had to restart the box. It seems to happen more after hubby has been watching You Tube stuff.

    Try running a wire from your smart TV to your router as a test. WIFI runs HALF DUPLEX and WIRED is FULL DUPLEX. I bought a smart TV last week and there's no way I can use onboard apps for Netflix, Hulu, or Prime. They all drop my online speed by half if run a internet speed checker on my pc as I'm trying to stream a movie. I deleted the smart tv entry from my router and installed my old wifi Ruku. I now can watch movies on my pc and new TV and theres no loss of internet speed. The SMART TV's send a lot of data upstream as well as downstream and I'm thinking it requires more bandwidth than I have to run smart. At least using wifi.

    Good idea, but not really practical. Router and TV are in different rooms at different end of the house. (At least they are on the same floor!)

    I see Blacklist has a new season that was released. Just finished the second season of Ozark.

    I'm considering replacing Netflix with an app a friend recommended called Terrarium but haven't downloaded it yet to check it out. I believe it is free and she says it has tons of movies and tv shows.

    Well, it’s HULU, so not Netflix or Prime...

    But I’ve been watching Safe Harbour. It’s a 4 episode Australian production. Pretty good show.
