Streaming app works everywhere except one TV or device
When streaming works everywhere except one device, the problem is that device specifically. It's either too old to support the app, needs an update, or the app's cache is corrupted. Start by updating your TV's software, then update the app.
A streaming app that works on some devices but not others means that one device is the problem. It can be too old to support the app, missing a software update, or have corrupted data in the app's cache. The app works fine on other devices, so the streaming service is fine. It's that one device that needs help.
- ✓Have the problematic device ready to update
- ✓Know the app name (Netflix, Disney+, etc.)
- ✓Have WiFi or internet connection available

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the streaming service is broken when only one device has the problem.
- Not updating your TV's operating system. Many app problems are fixed by OS updates.
- Not checking if your TV is on the same WiFi network. Different networks cause connection problems.
Signs you need professional help
- After updating your TV software, updating the app, and clearing the cache, the streaming app still won't work on that one device. Give us a call and we can check if your TV is too old to support the app.
