Signing out of Netflix, and then signing back in, sometimes refreshes the problematic data enough to get rid of code UI-800-3. Since this is another easy fix, it should be one of the first things that you try.

Some streaming devices don't allow you to sign out of Netflix.

2. In the settings section, click Sign out all devices.
3. Click Sign out.

This will sign out every single device that you have tied to your account. You will need to reconnect or sign in to each device separately.

After signing out of Netflix, and signing back in, you should check to see if you can stream anything. If you can't, then you will need to move on to more complicated fixes.
