Why can't I use netflix or hulu, or connect to multi-player games.

Hi! I'm Rostom, an Independent Advisor. I will be glad to help you here. Sorry to hear about the issue. We will do our best to get this sorted out.

May I exactly know the error message you're getting there?

Let's check your network statistics as well.

Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
Select Profile & system > Settings > General > Network settings.

Please test your network connection, multiplayer, and NAT type.

I don't see why Netflix would be involved with me purchasing a game through paypal from Microsoft, but regardless, I do not use Netflix - I use Hulu. I do not have any type of subscription to Netflix any longer. And I don't even use Hulu on my Xbox, just
on my computer.

Hi BarrenMute - You will have access to all the leaderboards just as if you were a Gold Member.

You will lose access to - Multi-player/Co-op, Party chat, Netflix/Hulu, (some) Game Demos. That is about the long and short of it.

Same thing is happening to me; it'll usually stay connected fine at the dashboard, but can't keep a connection while in games. Netflix & Hulu stream fine, too.

Sorry, but ESPN is currently a USA only service along with HULU and Netflix.

But, if it makes you feel better, they can't get Sky Player
