Many operators rely on streaming platforms, such as Netflix, to offer more complete TV packages to their customers. In the case of this platform, the plan with ads is the cheapest and one of the most popular, but it has a handicap that is important to know.
Netflix Some time ago, it found one of the great veins of its content proposal in the plan with advertisements. With a price of €5.49, users can enjoy their entire catalog at a price that is much more attractive than what we can find in the rest of the plans. The only difference is that, from time to time, we have to endure an advertising break.
Although there were initially some doubts about the viability of this type of proposal in a universe such as streaming, in which absence of advertising breaks It was one of its great claims, the reality is that the success of this modality is indisputable, as reflected in the fact that other platforms have decided to replicate it. Regardless of whether you have subscribed to it independently or through the operator, you may encounter error code E119. But what does it mean and how can we solve it?
Incompatible with a small number of devices
One of the peculiarities that the plan with Netflix ads is that it requires some minimum software level to be able to function. Normally, this problem will not occur to us if we want to use the application from our smartphone or tablet, since it is compatible from Android 7 and iOS 15but it can be a setback to take into account in the event that it appears with our Smart TV.
Although Netflix warns that this error only affects very few devicesYes, we can find it on those Smart TVs that do not allow you to update the Netflix application or the device software to a version compatible with ads. If we encounter this situation, what are the possible solutions?
Possible alternatives
In the event that we encounter this error, the solution is to find an alternative that allows us to continue accessing all Netflix content. The main solution that Netflix recommends is to change our subscription to a plan without ads. However, this would mean having to face a much higher price.
If we want to maintain the economic plan, we can also use our smartphone or tablet to access our favorite series and movies. As we have already mentioned, the requirements are not very demanding and if we have a device purchased a few years ago, we will be able to contract this plan without problems.
If you are considering the option of trying to use your Chromecast to send content to your Smart TV and thus bypass this limitation, it is better not to try it. Netflix does not allow use of this service in plans with ads.
