Netflix and connection issues

FeFiDoh · 12 Feb 2012 at 19:21

I have just signed up for netflix to use it on my xbox but I seem to be having issues with it!
When I load the netflix app it shows some names of things a friend has been watching but all the tiles are greyed out, no pictures or anything.
I can't watch any as it gives me an error and then the net on my PC drops out as well.
When I quit out of the netflix app it has disconnected me from xbox live.

I have done some googling and it appears a few people have issues with this but I can't seem to find a fix for it any where.
I have deleted the app from the xbox and tried again but still the same thing! Very very frustrating as it was the whole reason I wanted netflix in the first place.

Xbox is fine when not trying to use it and all seems to work perfectly when doing the network tests, it has to be netflix thats causing it because as soon as I exit, net comes back to my PC.

I am using a superhub if that is of any use.

I find Netflix on my Xbox runs very poorly compared to the PC/PS3 versions, quality is lower. Occasionally drops out and takes a while to load the titles in.

Well I just turned my PC off and loaded netflix on the xbox 360 and almost instantly the light on my router is flashing and the net has disconnected.

I am useless with networks so have no idea what this issue is.

This happens to me, but its very intermittent, sometimes it'll go a whole night without issue and other times i get every 10 mins. Like other poster said its better on the ps3 connection wise, but i wouldn't say that the picture quality is any different.

I've had issues with this aswell.

Sounds as though you are receiving too much data and your router is overloading.

What's your MTU?

FeFiDoh · 13 Feb 2012 at 17:15

No idea what MTU is, where can I check?

Kali81 · 13 Feb 2012 at 18:31

mines set at 1500

FeFiDoh · 13 Feb 2012 at 19:04

1500 is the default anyway from what I see via a quick google, something said about maybe trying 1492.

I have no idea what it is so

if i changed my mtu would i need to do it on both the router and the xbox?

When you say the trick, do you mean use unblock us?

Well I rebooted router with everything disconnected from it, reset to defaults and tried again and it has worked yeey.

I also did the netflix US thing, change of DNS servers on the xbox network settings and I now get the US libary. Happy days!
