What's the Android TV version?
Does the TV version of Netflix work with other VPN's?
I'll check is LittleProxy able to handle the Netflix packets.
Also, the TV version could looking for an active VPN connection.

Unfortunately there is no Netflix for TV for x86 emulator, so I cannot test it.
I suggest you to enable Only allowed applications mode in PowerTunnel settings and left the list of apps empty. Then you can go to the your device settings and configure proxy server to 127.0.0.1:8085 - that's underlying PowerTunnel proxy server.
Let me know does it work.

Sorry for the misunderstanding: with the PowerTunnel proxy?

nw-2-5

Is that the Netflix TV error?

I've managed to get the TV version of the Netflix app on my tablet.
Seems like Netflix TV is using a special protocol (different with the regular Android version, because it works with PowerTunnel), and their server doesn't accept packet that fragmented by PowerTunnel to bypass DPI. I'm sorry.
Reopen this issue if something will change after a while.

I found there are some bugfixes for the traffic interceptor related to packet routing. They probably can fix the issue.
Check the new version.

Unfortunately, apparently, Netflix does not work with fragmented packages. It isn't a PowerTunnel bug.
You can try to contact the Netflix support.

I discovered a LittleProxy issue (#15) that can be cause of the problem.
This issue could be fixed in an upcoming PowerTunnel version.
