Netflix down in UK: Users complain of UI-800-3 error message on screens

Netflix appears to be down for some of its users, leaving them unable to watch content on the subscription service.

People attempting to binge-watch their favourite movies and TV programmes are seeing an error code reading: "ui 800 3".

While able to load their Netflix homepage as normal, this has left them unable to watch any content.

According to reports on social media the problem is particularly prevalent in Europe.

Netflix users have taken to social media to report the problem.
