Bell Streamer error message 1009F-9D28

[Peter3]

We are trying to watch the news and are having what I would call buffering when we try to change channels.  We have unplugged the tv from the box and that has worked in the past, but not so this time.  Suggestions?  We will call if necessary...

Thank you for your help. How do I change the fire stick DNS to the Bell modem one?

[WillTv]

@SP2 If you have not changed anything on the Bell provided Router, then it should already be set to use it as the DNS, as that is the default setting. I have been using my own DHCP server, as the Bell one not matter the settings kept setting itself as the DHCP server, which required me to setup rules for my Fire sticks or manually setup each one. But considering you are not sure how to setup the DNS, it is unlikely your issue. The reason I changed it, is for adblocking.

Now I can't tell you the exact settings for your network as it might be different than mine or default settings. The first step is figuring out what you want to set the static IP address to, as the Firestick does not allow just setting a DNS. You can either set the IP address outside the DHCP range or go onto the Router/DHCP server and set it to a static IP. This is because the Firestick requires you to enter in an IP address before getting to the DNS setting. Once you decide on that, go into the firestick network settings and select either Ethernet or Wired Configuration, depends on how you're connected. First thing it asks for is the IP address, which you decided on earlier, followed by the Gateway which by default for me anyways was 192.168.2.1, which will also be the DNS server in the following step.

Hi, I have been using the Bell Fibe TV app on the Amazon Firestick since the app has been available and rarely have I experienced any issues. It's been a couple of weeks that we have started to receive an error message when trying to watch live tv or recordings.

The message comes on a black screen with an exclamation mark with the following message;

Error

An error occurred, (1009f/9D28)

For more information please visit: http://support.bell.ca/Fibe_TV/

This is happening on two different Amazon Fire sticks on two different televisions.

I have tried all the tips I found on this board such as clearing the cache, uninstalling/reinstalling to no avail.

I have reset to factory settings the Firestick and re-installed the Fibe TV app.

I have purchased a brand new model 4K firestick that I installed yesterday.

I'm still getting the error message. 

This error is happening more often on both tv's and making it impossible to watch television.

Every other streaming app works as expected, Netflix, Prime, Disney+.

There is obviously something wrong with the app development that needs to be looked at immediately.

Can this be escalated to the correct department?

Thanks

Hi there @yorkville,

Welcome to the Bell Community, and thank you for sharing all of these details with us.

Error 1009f/9D28 generally means that there is a network connection issue preventing playback. Are you using any third party equipment such as a router, or are your Firesticks connected directly to the internet via your Bell modem? 

A great first step to resolve this is a simple reboot of your internet modem. Just unplug your modem from the power source for a minute, and then plug it back in and test to see if everything is working. If you are using a VPN you can try turning it OFF as well.

We also invite you to check out the suggestions from @WillTv in the thread above, and let the Community know if you are still having trouble.

I believe that @WillTv is on the right track. When I read his post I thought about my self hosted DNS. Therefore, I bypassed it and the error has not re-appeared. I guess you can say that the my issue is resolved. Not sure why this is happening now as I have been self hosting a DNS for at least two years. Thanks.

I confirm, a modem reboot works perfectly to resolve the issue.

Thank you for your help. Fixing the DNS on the firestick, fixed the problem.

I have this problem all the time as well. I have no issue using the Netflix or Prime apps on my roku tv but the bell fibe tv and streamer always have this problem. Bell could make a better product if they wanted to....

Does this only affect a certain show or channel on Bell Fibe TV? Can you test a different device to see if the same thing happens?

My fibe tv seems to buffer quiet a bit then goes to error codes 1009f/9D28. I have rebooted the home hub 3000 by unplugging and removing battery for well over a minute. I have also turned off VPN to no avail? Any advice.

Good Day & Welcome.

Thank you for posting your question.
Error 1009f/9D28 on Bell Fibe TV receivers typically indicates a connectivity issue, a loss of signal.

What is the make and model number of the receiver or device that you are using?

Start by power cycling the receiver and checking all HDMI and TV / receiver connections.
Have you tried to reposition your device to improve your signal?

1. Is there anything in front of or around your receiver, device or modem that could obstruct the signal?
2. Have you tried to reset your receiver by unplugging it from its power source, waiting 20 seconds, then plugging it back in to see if this makes a difference
3. Have you tried to do any troubleshooting? My Bell service is not working
4. Have you tried to run the Bell Virtual Repair Tool? Bell - Virtual repair tool
