Hello, thank you for using Howly. I’ll be happy to help you out! May I ask your name?

Nice to meet you, *****!
The error you are getting on Pure Flix is connected to Internet issues.

Please, restart your router and try to play the movie one more time:

  1. Step 1: Unplug the modem and router from the power outlet.
  2. Step 2: Wait at least 15 seconds.
  3. Step 3: Plug the modem back into the power outlet first, wait 1-2 minutes, then it's time to power on
    the router.
  4. Step 4: Wait for all panel lights on your cable modem to become green on before testing your internet connection.

There is no paperclip to the right of this chat box ever since i sent a pic before

Got you, you would need to reload the page. It happens sometimes, once you will reload the page, the paperclip icon will appear

Customer Replay

It looks like a "settings" icon now instead of a paperclip

No worries, since you told me the number of the error code, I got the situation
Please, follow the instructions from above

Customer Replay

I have to go upstairs to follow your directions...hang tight ok
Now in chat it says my brand new subsription is expiring and renew it right now?

The movie is back on.
And i am waiting for it to freeze again

So it's working now?

Customer Replay

It says that a pymt went through again and i did not authorize another pymt

Do you think you were double-charged?

Customer Replay

I have NO IDEA NOW

Can you any unauthorized charges on your bank account?

Customer Replay

I will check after we are done..
How does cache get cleared on the tv apps?
All i was able to do is delete a few apps we do not use

That's great

Customer Replay

It froze again for about 15 seconds or so...and started again
I really hope i am not going to have to experience all the way through the movie

what do you mean by started again? Has it been renewed back on?

Customer Replay

After it froze again...the movie picked up where it froze up...all by itself

Please follow the instructions:

  1. Turn off the TV.
  2. Unplug the TV power cord from the electrical outlet.
  3. Let the television remain without power for 60 seconds.
  4. Plug the power cord back into the electrical outlet.
    If your TV was plugged into a power strip or surge protector, plug it directly into the wall outlet in case the power strip or surge protector was causing a problem.
  5. Turn on the TV.


Please let me know when it's done

Customer Replay

It is still on

What do you mean?

Customer Replay

The movie is still playing....so far, so good...hopefully

Then everything works fine?

Customer Replay

I still do not know how to clear cache from the apps

On your TV, right?

Customer Replay

Correct

Please try this instruction

  1. Go to the home screen on your Sony TV.
  2. Navigate to the "Settings" menu.
  3. Select "Apps" or "Application Manager"
  4. Select the app for which you want to clear the cache.
  5. Select the "Clear data" or "Clear cache" option and Confirm the action to clear the cache.
