Hi user_hwq9m3, we greatly appreciate you taking the time to post here on the forums! I'm sorry to hear that you're running into issues watching movies with your $1 movie reward. Does that unknown error message include an error code of any kind, and does it occur when streaming movies purchased/rented through other means? Also, does this happen regardless of the device that's in use?

There is no error code and it does not occur on purchased movies.

@user_hwq9m3 Thanks for the additional details. What type of device are you using to stream with?

Does it happen with multiple streaming devices or just one?

@user_hwq9m3  Is everything up to up date with your devices? 

Have you tried using a non Fire device?

I have since reconnected my Flex box and tried streaming the dollar movies and it works. I just cannot leave it plugged in because it gets extremely hot presenting concerns for starting a fire.

I plugged it in several minutes prior to movie time so it can update and it works great. No streaming issues.
