What it means
On the official Netflix Help Center page for error ui-800-2, the on-screen message reads Netflix has encountered an error. Retrying in [X] seconds with Code: ui-800-2. Netflix explains that this happens when an issue with data stored on your device stops Netflix from playing. When a full 15-second power cycle and signing out or resetting the app do not clear it, Netflix directs you to contact the device manufacturer (with dedicated instructions for Samsung TVs and Blu-ray players). Menus vary by model, and the code alone never proves your TV or player has a hardware fault.
