Apple tv or netflix

What are the pros and cons between apple tv verses netflix?

Netflix is cheaper as it's a subscription streaming service. iTunes is Pay Per View.
Netflix adapts to your connection and can be of lower quality. iTunes content is fixed rate so it alays produces the same result.
If you are looking for new releases then iTunes is suggested. Netflix is best for older movies, and TV shows.
For Netflix 3mbps is recommended, higher if you wish to view HD.
iTunes requires 8mbps for instant 1080P rentals, 6mbps for 720p, 3mbps for SD. If you have a slower connection you will need to wait before you can view.

  • I just bought the latest apple tv and netflix neither one of them work since I hooked up the Apple TV.  Error 104 comes up on Netflix

    I now get error 104 on Netflix  I just installed the newest apple tv box and can't watch apple tv or netflix.  Can anyone help?

    I'm having the same issue -- can't get Netflix with Apple TV -- I just spent 2 hours of my life rebooting the Apple device, resetting it - nothing worked - however, I can get Netflix on my Wii upstairs so I think it's an Apple thing..

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • When will Apple TV have Netflix?

    When will Apple TV have Netflix?
    Just wondering if this something that might change sometime soon..
    For the time being I just hook my Laptop to the TV, it would be nice to navigate Netflix with an interface like Front Row. Something like what can be done on the XBox 360

    Larry, while netflix may have a different library to a certain extent, I don't believe its anymore extensive than the itms catalogue, and last time I checked it's quality was no better than that of itms, even though it may be in a different format.
    The depth of Netflix's streaming catalog is better than ITMS. However, ITMS has many more current movies available to download/rent. They could complement each other in the manner I described. All I can watch from Netflix for $10/month or I could buy 2 old catalog movies from ITMS. Hmmm...let me think about that...
    However, Netflix doesn't offer immediate download of new titles, which is where ITMS could make sales.

  • Does Apple TV stream Netflix at 120Hz or 60Hz?

    Does Apple TV stream Netflix at 120Hz or 60Hz? My Panasonic Viera plays Netflix at a better quality but they both claim to stream at 1080p but the Panasonic looks much better.

    If you have an AppleTV2 its output is 720p max irrespective of the source material resolution.

  • HT202157 Why does Apple TV say Netflix is not available when I can watch it on my computer?

    I have reset my Apple tv to factory defaults, but it did not ask me to activate it again.
    For the last two days everytime i try watch a Netflix movie is says Netflix is not availble please try again latter.
    I have also power cycled my apple tiv by leaving it unplugged five minutes and upgraded the software.
    I was using it with no problem and am not aware of anything I did to hurt the configuraton.
    Again I have reset and restarted and power cycled several times.
    Not sure why it did not ask me to activate it again.
    I can also watch trailers and get to the sign in page on other channels.
    This is the first Apple product I have ever bought because I don't like the fact everything they have is propriatary.
    I work in IT and there is a good reason why you don't see Apple servers in datacenters.
    Maybe at an art department in a marketing company at the most.

    I understand that point. They are mostly bought from iTunes. But, I can watch on my laptop, iPad, iPhone on an airplane or wherever without an Internet connection. So why the hang up on my apple tv, should it not just be an extension of my laptop?

  • How do you change the language of the apple tv for netflix

    How do you change the language of Netflix in apple tv?

    Ok, I figured out whats the problem. I configured Netflix on my smart TV (LG 47LW6500) and gives me the option to choose audio and subtitles. Then configured my preference on the Netflix web page and set default audio to english. And it is actually working with an exception, the default audio will be english unless there is an other language that has better audio, for example, if the movie has 3 languages English (Stereo), Spanish (Stereo) and Portuguese (Stereo) english will be default, but if the theres a case were 1 of the languages is not stereo but better, as 5.1 Dolby, the better audio will be automatically selected as default, for example if English (Stereo), Spanish (Stereo) and Portuguese (5.1 Dolby), then the movie will play in Portuguese, no matter what your default preference is.
    There is no way to fix this, because the ATV does not give the option to change the audio language on Netflix (It does on iTunes), and and Netflix App is omitting the web page preferences and the ATV preferences. Basically is and App problem, I don't know who developed the App, but the problem is definitely the app, that has not implemented all of the options the API allows.

  • 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.

  • 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.
