My virus scanner has detected something trying to run a powershell on my computer that may be a Trojan virus that could infect my computer. Please take care of this on your streaming server site as I can not currently connect until the server stops attempting to run a powershell on my computer. I paid to stream, not get hacked.

C
Camille Schuster 2023-10-24

Problem with recorded movies. When I click on some there is a green wheel that goes round and round. When it stops nothing happens. For other recorded movies, they start playing and after 15 minutes they quit. I have not been able to watch any recorded movies. When I go to a streaming show and click on one to watch that is fine. I have not been able to record and watch any movies for two weeks. This is a huge problem since Christmas movie season is starting. If this is not fixed there is no point in paying for the app.

Forged in Fire season 10 episode 1 gets to the middle with the stupid detergent commercial and just plays it over and over and over on a continuous loop and will not stop. It never ever gets to the part of the show after this. It also continually shows the buffering circle and I have excellent wifi speed and service. So, what's the deal?

Dawn Warmkessel 2023-08-15

I like the price and selection Frndlytv offers. However the service sucks. It's not my internet because it's top of the line. So it's not your customers, my boyfriend who works in the electronics industry says it's Frndly's signal strength. Which seems to be getting worse instead of better. After reading some of the reviews, we all seem to have the same issue of buffering constantly and the error message that the video can't be played. Frndly find someone who actually knows what they are doing and fix the problems and stop blaming your customers. If not you will most likely start losing customers. I'm starting to shop around for another streaming service that offers the same lineup. Dawn Warmkessel

Using Roku 4082x. When fast forwarding through commercials the unit either freezes, restarts with audio only, or works properly. Freezing or audio only seems to be most prevalent.
