Check your broadband speed on the puck by running the network check on the Netflix app under the get help menu.

Aplogies for the spelling gobbledygook above, I could not edit the post.

 

I have checked the speeds.

 

Netflix via the Puck and the native version on the LG TV both 45.4.

 

We do  have a poor internet service, but the blank/black screen only happens when watching Netflix by the  PucK

 

Thanks for the repsonse.

Could be a dodgy HDMI cable or it's struggling to pass the increased bit-rates from higher resolution Netflix streams. Do you have Netflix Premium for 4K HDR Netflix output or is the blanking happening on simple HD streams?

Definitely try a new HDMI cable. Make sure it's high speed and less than 3 metres long.

A certified 2.1 HDMI is a good choice for long term usage ... plenty available online for about £10 ... no need to get a stupid price cable😉
