Apple TV and Netflix

I just bought an Apple TV because I was told I could watch Netflix. On hooking it up I found that only rentals were available and none of the free content. I enjoy watching old foreign language films that are free on Netflix. How can we make this happen?

Can you load movies that don't have a rental cost? Since I just got the AppleTV maybe I am not navigating to the right place. Netflix is there and I went through all the options. Each category only has "pay $" upon opening a movie.

  • Apple TV and Netflix glitch

    When using Apple Tv for Netflix the closed caption (words on bottom of screen appear) How do you turn this feature off. It is very distracting.
    Thank you

    Usually around 15Mbps but just did a speediest on my iPad and it seems to be down to 6.28Mbps but that is wireless, Apple Tv is hardwired so it's connection is even higher.

    What am I doing wrong?   I have hi-speed cable internet and N wireless WiFi.
    AppleTV and Netflix movies and TV work great - not buffering at all???

    There's an issue currently that a lot of us are experiencing in that we all get the error message "iTunes is currently unavailable; please try later"
    It's an issue with Apple and we're awaiting an update re this
    I've posted a topic in regards to this after having a long conversation with Apple support this morning and will be receiving a call from their tech team tomorrow to run through it further
    As it stands iTunes cannot be accessed via ATV's and nor can it be streamed via AirPlay from iTunes to the ATV
    However I can access all films/iCloud content via my Mac Mini with no issues!

  • New Apple TV and Netflix

    Netflix streaming has just arrived in Canada and the new Apple TV seems a great way to easily access the Netflix content.
    On Apple's Canadian website they clearly show that Netflix can be streamed on the Apple TV +"...Since Apple TV lets you access your Netflix account directly from your HDTV, you can ditch all the computer-to-TV adapters and skip straight to the part where you press Play."+
    The confusion lies with Netflix, their website doesn't show the Apple TV as a supported device, so I called them today to ask if the new Apple TV was supported and they said that it isn't!
    Has anyone tried the new Apple TV with Netflix in Canada?

    I completely disagree with you vazandrew , it WILL work with a simple software update (any techno babble bs that says it won't is strictly just that, BS). It's like saying the Roku streaming devices have been a superior product over the ATV 1st gen because as you know, Roku's have insanely great processing power in their devices.
    Which brings me to my next point: Why can I stream Netflix on last years model of an iPod Touch? Processing power? Hmmm, UHHH NO! A software update by a third part developer nonetheless. No coincidence there.
    Personally, I would be highly disappointed if they don't upgrade through a software update. Furthermore, I think the lack of storage is a step in the wrong direction. I don't want to have to stream from another device or computer the content I have purchased, I prefer to sync my content and keep it on the ATV until I decide otherwise.
    If there isn't an update by the holiday season, then I'll just get a Roku device. In the end, it has better streaming services and options sans the compatibility with iTunes.

  • HT1365 Apple TV and  Netflix problem

    My apple TV works well with all the apps on it except with Netflix. Lately it will quit and state " Your Apple TV isn't connected to the Internet " to check your network setting go to   etc etc . I do that and go to for instance Utube and there is NO problem and switch back to Netflix, it runs for a while and then get the same message !! I have tried ALL of netflix and apple's suggestions but to no avail !! HELP !!

    I don't think this has anything to do with wireless. You should post in the AppleTV area.
    There does seem to be a bug or 6.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24065052#24065052
    If you are posting here because you think it is a wireless router issue..
    I strongly suggest you run an ethernet cable to your AppleTV and use that for a test.
    Wireless for streaming is always a bad idea when you live in an area where wireless is grossly overused.

  • Just did an Upgrade to 4.4.4 on my Apple TV and Netflix and NHL are gone?

    I have an NHL subscription and it was working on my Apple TV but I did a recent Software Upgrade to 4.4.4 and HNL along with Netflix is gone? I retried the upgrade and it has the same problem.

    I just upgraded my iPhone 4 to OS5 and had the same issues. 
    All of the Apple applications / components worked.  However, any non-apple application would flash open but wouldn't work and they were running in the background.  After reading this thread (although it pertains to a different upgrade), thought I'd try it and it worked for me.  I just went to iTunes App Store on my phone and downloaded a free app and presto!... now they all work again.
    Thanks for the tip... and the time saved trying to troubleshoot.

  • New Apple TV and Netflix streaming

    Hi,
    I have an "legacy" Apple TV running with iTunes 8.x
    and am interested in getting the new Apple TV to give me
    Netflix streaming access. (So I would have 2 Apple TVs
    running in my media room).
    So, question is -- do I need to upgrade iTunes to v10
    to get Netflix streaming support on the new Apple TV?
    Or do I need iTunes10 for the new Apple TV, regardless?
    I've been hesitant to upgrade iTunes as I have had problems
    with upgrades in the past (playlists disappearing, AppleTV disappearing,
    etc.) I have also seen several postings with people having
    issues with legacy Apple TV when upgrading to iTunes 10.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Winston, you seem to be very knowledgable in the tv arena.
    Maybe you can help me. My tv stopped connecting or is failing to connect to the itunes store. This occurred yesterday, for no apparent reason. There was absolutely no changes done on my end. I did query apple in regard to a movie that I rented that never appeared, but that was it.
    All connectivity is working fine, I can podcast, listen to music, watch previews etc., I just cannot rent or download a movie, as it cannot connect to itunes store. I have deauthorised and reauthorised via itunes 10, and all seems OK, I can sync between itunes and my existing tv, but can no longer download movies or TV shows, as it seems to fail on handshake or authority or something...
    Any leads would be greatly appreciated, as I have rented two movies, which I have been billed for, and they have been downloaded, just can't watch them...
    Thanks,
    Michael.
