TV Thomson 50UD63*3 Problem with Netflix

Hello,
For the past few days, I've been unable to watch Netflix videos on the Thomson 50UD63*3 television. The video starts for a few seconds, then cuts off with an error message (tvq-pb-101 (5.2.12)).
I first tried the troubleshooting steps suggested by Netflix (turning it on/off, unplugging the TV, restarting the internet box), with no success.
I then updated the TV software by downloading this update: https://www.mythomson.com/fr_fr/manuels-et-telechargements-326-fr-fr?query-download=50ud6306&id_univers=
I correctly placed the file on a USB drive formatted in FAT32 and performed the update, which went smoothly. The correct software version appears in the device information.
I then reset the TV via the "Contrast" menu.
Despite this, the problem with Netflix persists.
Do you have any ideas?
Thank you

Hello,
Questions? Call (+33) 0805-543-063
I suspect a problem with their servers.

After calling Thomson's customer service, they recommend using a Fire Stick, as app updates for Netflix are not possible with these models.
Thank you, Thomson, for providing us with obsolete models in less than 7 years!

Technology is evolving rapidly and the commercial products that stem from it are following the same trend, prompting consumers to regularly change their devices.
Hello.
Here’s what Netflix says https://help.netflix.com/fr/node/59990
The best option is indeed to get a stick or a box running Android, as the native apps of TV manufacturers often have this kind of problem due to a lack of relevant updates. That’s why it’s preferable to buy a TV that truly runs Android TV with the Google Store, rather than a TV with a store and an app from its manufacturer.
See some examples of Android TV boxes:
