Netflix has user friendly apps for almost all operating systems and devices. While the website itself is great to use, the apps are even better as they offer the same user-friendly interface with more nifty features. However, the downside is that users often have to struggle with a few Netflix code errors that prevent a specific title to be played.
Recently Netflix users have been widely reporting of an error code TVQ-PB-100 or TVQ-PB-101 shown on the screen as “We’re having trouble playing this title right now. Please try again later or select a different title.” Windows 10 users have become the biggest victim after the latest app update but Xbox, Blu-ray player, Roku, Set-top box & Smart TV users have been reporting the same issue as well.
