What The Bleep Do We Know Netflix Streaming

[Taneka Tarring]

There are many Firefox extensions that will download Youtube videos. Try Download Helper or Easy Youtube Download Helper. Download Helper works on some sites other than Youtube but cannot download everything on Youtube. Easy only works on Youtube but downloads everthing (as far as I can tell). You must, then, move the files to your Hub. I know of no application that records Netflix other than screen capture software which pretty much **bleep**.

Netflix and Blockbuster are streaming services, they are not intended to be recorded. You are only renting the movies, not buying them. The Live Hub is designed as a storage device, not a recorder. If you bought it thinking it was a DVR, you made a mistake.

I am a simple home user, and do not know the difference between the convenience of a DVR for cable usage, and recording streaming video. When I use cable, a DVR appears to be accepable, a great convenience, and it was marketed as such . I do not believe that I purchased the video, however, as a consumer, I appreciate the ability to record for a later date. Netflix was recommended by friends who use the DVD service and record the DVDs for their convenience. I was informed that DVD were made to deteriorate after several years.

You made me feel as if I was doing something wrong by assuming that it was acceptable to record purchased services. I had no such intentions, and would not do anything which I know is improper or wrong.

I have 4 Roku TVs in my home and all 4 of them have lagging issues with Netflix. I recently purchased a Google TV and I haven't had a single problem with the Netflix app. This seriously seems to be a Roku problem with the Netflix app. I'm seriously considering buying Google TVs to replace the rest of the Roku TVs. These are not devices but actual Roku TVs. We're talking hundreds of dollars each just to keep doing that whole "Are you sure that it is plugged in correctly" **bleep**. I always get the same thing from every tech problem. I can recite just one of them and it's the same thing for tech support stuff.

Our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused your streaming with the Netflix channel on your Roku TV. No worries! We're here to offer some troubleshooting steps to help you get back on streaming.

Furthermore, please be informed that the channel provider themselves, which in this case, Netflix Support, are the ones who provided and maintained their channel on the Roku streaming platform. If the issue persists, we highly recommend contacting their support directly and raising your playback issues. Their channel may need an update from them.

As I said in my post. Your trouble shooting is the same as every other tech support answer and to do the same things. If I haven't already done all of that I wouldn't have posted this. That just proves to me that I need to get rid of my Roku TVs and buy Google TVs. But thanks for all of your useless help.

We understand your sentiments regarding the issue you are experiencing, and we would feel the same way. We will work with you to know what went wrong so we can assist you further and fix the issue. Can you please provide the following information below?

I've done that just like several other people here have told me to. Since I have determined on my own that Roku has no idea of what is wrong and is not going to be able to fix the issue. Plus on top of that this is the last comment in several months I just decided to go ahead and get a Chromecast and I will never buy another Roku device.

I have had my TV for 2 months and it has worked perfectly all along until yesterday. I was watching TV and it just went to a blank screen. Now every streaming app I have, Netflix, Hulu, Roku channel, Paramount+, Disney, etc., is not working. They all give me a list of shows to watch, but, when I choose a show and hit play, all I get is a blank screen. Please help!

@Mgangels, something within the TV has failed. The only way to fix it is to take it apart and replace whatever failed (probably the power board). All of these "Roku TVs" are from what I would call not the highest quality brands. It's not really that it's a Roku TV as much as it's probably manufactured by some Chinese company that's not known for producing quality products.

I have a Sharp Aquos TV and a Roku Stick and I am having the same issue. I can see the Roku home screen and all of my apps. When I am in the app I can see the guides and menu, but when I actually choose a show it goes to a black screen and I can still hear the show fine. Only when you choose the show does it go to a black screen.

We're sorry to hear that you're having the same issue. May we know if you've encountered this issue with all the apps/channels or just a particular one? Also, what steps have you taken so far to resolve the issue? Further, could you please provide an image or a video if possible for us to have better visuals?

Hey Google community!
I am considering buying a Google Nest Audio or buying a pair for watching TV and movies with! I see that they use bluetooth and I was wondering if it is a good decision to buy them for entertainment (i.e. Movies, TV, Netflix, Youtube, etc.). I ask as I have seen many positive reviews and negative reviews about them in relation to video.
If you have any experiences from purchasing them, I would love to know so I can make a proper informed decision!
Thank you!
P.S.: I have also asked this on Reddit to see if they have similar thoughts and experiences!

Lots of reviews on-line from reputable reviewers.
I'm not a fan of smart speakers that can get "bricked" at EoL.
Sonos had a huge backlash when they did that with Gen1 speakers. They "unbricked" them, but then you find out that you are only left with crappy speakers with **bleep**ty components that were "compensated" with DSP.

My alternative was a $30 Bluetooth amp (Fosi via Amazon) which has advanced BT for improved sound quality plugged into affordable speakers (but not from BestBuy). I have two of those set-ups - one in the screened in porch with resurrected Advent mini speakers. The second in a fireplace den with in-wall speakers. Everyone is always amazed at the sound quality when I stream lossless audio from an on-line service (Prime, Apple, Spotify, etc)
I guess if getting responses - "hey google" - is important to you, they go for it. I have a few mini's and hubs for that. Gen2 seem to have better sound using DSP to compensate for tiny speakers. My guess is that the Google Audio speakers will seem to sound just great.

My best set up is my old Google Audio "dongle" - like ChromeCast, but audio only. Plugged into a HiFi amp driving high end speakers. WiFi, streaming lossless from any service you want to use. You could find a used one on eBay, but they are getting pricey. Google should bring them back!

Please note that we don't officially support pairing any of our Google Home and Nest speakers with TV as an audio output for video playing. Our Google Home/Nest devices are standalone speaker/displays, and it is best to add it on your TV with a Chromecast device in a speaker group to play music, podcasts, and other audio entertainment.

We're always looking for ways to improve -- we'll take this as feedback, and we'll gladly pass it along to the team. You can also send feedback using your device by saying, "Hey Google, send feedback." Visit this link for more steps.

Strangely enough, I saw "Wicker Park" on the same day I saw another forthcoming film, "What the #$*! Do We Know?" The what-the-bleep film was about quantum physics, and included a dozen experts testifying that we don't know s%&t. I have never understood quantum physics, so it was a relief to discover that no one else does, either.

That set my mind at ease regarding "Wicker Park." By substituting "Wicker Park" for "quantum physics," I was able to experience the movie in the same way that I experience the universe, by treating it as if it exists even if it doesn't. The plot, for example, hums along as if it's really there, like matter, when in fact it's mostly a vacuum, like the insides of atoms. The chronology isn't confusing because scientists believe it's only an illusion that time originates in the past and moves through the present on its way to the future. It might move in any direction, like it does in this movie.
