When I couldn't get my TV to stream, I bought a Firestick from Amazon and suddenly it worked. It was a DU person who saved me. I could watch it on my laptop, but we have a big, not-all-that-smart television and it needed a device. The Firestick was about $12 at the time. It has its own foibles but it's fine, really. Hope you find the answer!
