How many apple tv devices can stream personal videos from a single iTunes library

I'm doing some initial investigation on the matter and I've not been able to get a definitive answer to this question...
Is there a limit to the number of Apple TVs that can stream videos from the same iTunes library, and if so, what is the limit?
I'm not talking about content purchased over iTunes, I'm thinking exclusively homemade video content encoded in the appropriate video format for use with iTunes.

disregarding the bandwidth limitations, is there a limit to the number of devices one could use for this? If I understand this correctly, the device limit only applies to iTunes content, and not so much a personal (non-iTunes store purchased content) library.

Apple TV started having streaming issues with Netflix

Several days ago my Apple TV is no longer providing consistent streaming throught Netflix. Before that, I had great streaming through all content for many months.
Issues, configuration and some actions already taken:
Video quality starts suffering, then some pauses/buffering begins.
I have tried the same Netflix account, content and network to trace the issue and found out through my Macbook Air and iPad and the streaming is excellent.
My Apple TV is connected to my ISP through an Ethernet cable at 200 Mbps (tested @ Speedtest.net)
I already restarted several times, and restored once my Apple TV.
Software is updated since it became available.
Yesterday, I found a post which recommended to manually setup my DNS to 008.008.008.008 which I did and worked great at that time, but todays problems are back with that fixed DNS and with Auto setup.
I hove someone here can help me with some further advice, or perhaps Apple very soon releases a fix. Seems that the latest update improved Airplay consistency to deliver both video and audio and not only video, but might have broken Netflix streaming.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I'm having the exact same issue since the latest update. I thought it was my internet connection but it worked perfectly fine in my ipad and macbook air.
I also have 2 Apple TV's and the problem is in both of them. I really hope apple fixes this issue ASAP.
In the meantime, if you wanna watch your netflix content on your apple tv with good streaming and you have an iPad/iPhone with netflix on it. I recommend Airplay mirroring the iOS device and then opening netflix, it will airplay the video content and the iphone/ipad screen will function as a remote control with all the settings and stuff...its kinda cool...the only bad thing is that you can't turn off the iPad/iPhone screen or it will pause the movie.
i hope this works for you while apple fixes this issue.

Does the Apple Digital Av adapter Stream in 1080P so that my keynote presentations look better that streaming them through apple TV?

Does the Apple Digital Av adapter Stream in 1080P so that my keynote presentations look better that streaming them through apple TV? I use Keynote and Apple TV to stream my Keynote presentations at work and the Picture does not look great and does not put the presetation in widscreen mode. Would the Apple Digital Av adapter fix that?

The size on the screen should remain, but the quality should be better.

I have an apple tv that wont stream video and wont automatically set date and time

Would like help setting up apple tv
I can stream netlix with no issue with my iPad and on both a notebook PC and desktop
The apple TV says its connnected to the internet when I check internet settings however it will not set the date and time upon initial power up and I cannot view any internet content

This sounds like a port issue. Somebody (possibly wjosten) posted a list of ports that need to be open in order for the ATV to work correctly.
Check your router set up and see if there are any services that are open for your iPad but blocked for the ATV

Using the Apple TV can I stream face time though to the TV the apple TV is hooked up to?

Yes, if you enable AirPlay Video Mirroring on the iOS devices you are using FaceTime on.

Does apple TV let you stream videos from safari using your iPad 2x?

I'm considering on buying an apple tv but if it only has those 10 apps it can stream from my Xbox is capable of doing so as well. If apple tv doesn't stream using safari how can I have that option available so I can watch online videos on the iPad 2x using safari Internet browser?

http://www.apple.com/appletv/what-is/ Provides a lot information about apple tv, review it.
Also if you're using airplay mirroring and choose the full screen option from a video player in safari it'll play full screen on your apple tv.

Yes. Distance can increase interference causing delays in streaming.

Quicktime Refuses to Stream

Hi all, i seem to have a problem with my macbook (10.4.11 QT 7.4.1) whereby quicktime point blank refuses to stream from our helix server, it just immediately throws the 'forbidden 403 error'. I have tried everything all day and to avail.
In my same office we have a mac mini and a macbook pro running 10.5.1 and they can stream as usual. I was only creating the server content the previous evening the same as i have done for the past three months and i cannot workout what has gone wrong. The only way i can get the files to play is through VLC. Either by clicking the .mov reference file or by pasting the rtsp url straight in to the player. Any attempt to this in Qt throws the error.
A real mystery?

"I have tried everything"
Need to know what troubleshooting efforts you have tried so that the knowledgeable users here can avoid the +"been there, done that"+ scenarios.
Thank you.

TS3623 Apple TV3 will not stream movies

My Apple TV3 will not stream movies and it takes a very long time for music to stream from my MacBook. I readjusted the resolution settings and it was the same thing. It gives me an "error occurred loading this content; try again later" message after spending several minutes of buffering after I try to play movies.
I have high speed 15 mbps Mediacom internet, which has never had any issues. I called Mediacom and they said my connectivity was excellent. I have reset my router/modem/AppleTV to no avail. My homesharing is on and I have followed all other recommendations I could find on Apple forums concerning this same issue.
I am going to return this product for a Roku if I am not offerred a solution on the matter.
Apple, I hope you realize this is not an isolated incident.

From where? Internet or local iTunes library?

I appreciate your frustration, but remember we are fellow users here, and you are not talkingto Apple support directly.
If you are connected via wifi try using ethernet if you can to rule out a wifi issue.
My AppleTVs are very stable with internet or LAN streaming 99% of the time, but since yesterday they have all behaved oddly - weird!

I recently got apple tv but the photo stream only seems to show up those photos which I took in September and no others (ie. 20 out of around 100). Any ideas why the earlier photos on my photo stream in ipad don't show up on apple tv?

Apple TV Won't Stream Video From IPad

Hi,
I have some video's downloaded from the App Store on my iPad, the Apple TV will not play these. It will play the sound but no picture. The Apple TV wants to stream them from the cloud. I tried to turn off 'cloud streaming' on the Apple TV but this makes no difference. When I simply try to mirror it says the TV isn't authorised to play content.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

I turned off my firewall, and it did solve the problem of getting the message in iTunes that I click "Ignore" on. But, it didn't solve the streaming problem with Apple TV. From Apple TV I go to my shared music on that iTunes (8.0.2), and the menu on the right comes up (Playlists, Artists, Albums, etc), but once I start clicking through it after about 5 seconds it just freezes up. Should I try a system restore on the Apple TV to go back to 2.2? It came with 2.2 and I ran the update to 2.3, so I'm guessing/hoping that a system restore would let me go back to 2.2. My hunch though is that it's a problem with iTunes 8.0.2 -- just a guess.
