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

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

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

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
