OS X 10.8.3 leads to VERY slow home sharing for Apple TV

Everything was fine, but as soon as I upgraded to OS X 10.8.3 Home Sharing on my Apple TV became unusably slow.
Internet is fine (I have a very speedy 40Mbps connection) on both my Mac Pro and my Apple TV (for example movie trailers streamed over the internet work fine). The issue is the Home Sharing connection between my Mac Pro and my Apple TV.
Some Tech Specs:
Mac Pro (Mid 2010)
24GB Ram
OS X 10.8.3 (12D78)
Connected via Ethernet
Apple TV 3rd Generation (three weeks old!)
OS "up to date"
Connected via Ethernet
Virgin Media Super Hub
Cable Modem
Connected to Mac Pro and Apple TV via Ethernet
Problem: viewing movies streaming from the Mac Pro, which until I updated to 10.8.3 worked flawlessly, now stream SO slowly, that the Apple TV is now useless for this purpose.
- Tried using Wi-Fi on the Apple TV. Same issue.
- Tried turning off Firewall on router. Same issue.
- Tried using Pro gigabit switch between Apple TV and Mac Pro to see if Cable Modem was at fault. Same issue.
- Restarted the Apple TV countless times, resetting the network settings on the Mac Pro, renewing the DHCP leases on Mac Pro and Apple TV. Same issue.
Curiously, I tried using Nullriver's MediaLink UPnP server to try and stream content from my Mac Pro to my PS3 so I could try and watch content that way. However, the content seemed to suffer from the same extremely slow download... Clearly something has changed with the network settings and it's made my Apple TV a useless lump of black plastic as I bought it for the sole purpose of streaming content from my Mac Pro to the TV downstairs.
Anyone else have this problem? Any comments or solutions would be welcome.

I just updated to 10.8.3 today, and my computer and Apple TV won't even recognize each other now. I have absolutely no advice, but wanted to throw this in so you (and Apple) know you're not the only one.

I cannot select "selected folders" in itunes for my home sharing for apple tv....running windows 7...my laptop running windows vista works great....thoughts....?

please read my title.......

its good that you jsut got it, apple products have a 90 complimentary support window for initial setup issues and things like that for new products and software that you buy from them.
i would recommend calling them at 1 800 275 2273 or 1 800 APL CARE with teh serial number for teh AppleTV for support to get that working correctly.
It is possible that the router may be to blame here ( im not dumpign all the blame on it, just offering a suggestion) you may wanna unplug everything from the router, wait a couple minutes and then try again. if that doesnt resolve the issue its possible you may need to hard reset your router and setup your network again.
I had a similar issue with connecting multiple ipads, PCs, and macs to a Netear router and some would connect for a while then lose access after a few minutes. i upgraded to an airport extreme and that cleared up all my connectivity issues.

TS2972 Home Sharing on Apple TV (2) drops out after about 2 minutes

Home Sharing on Apple TV (2) drops out after playing iTunes music and photos for about 3 minutes. iTunes says Home Sharing is on, but the only way to get it going again is to turn off Home Sharing and sign in again to Home Sharing when it will work for another 3 or 4 minutes maximum. This happens with both computers on the network. Have turned the firewall off but it makes no difference. Any suggestions please

Going to try a signal booster this all started with the TV upgrade. The only reason for the network booster is because iPhone 4 freezes in facebook once and a while. I am trying to solve this problem for my brother my system works with my airport and imac with no issues yet. All brand new.

Can't access itunes store or home sharing on apple tv, apple tv 2 keeps saying that network time needs to be set.

Cant acess itunes store or home sharing on apple tv 2, keeps telling me that network time needs to be set. When I go to time zone section on apple tv - I chose a city...but still no luck. Apparently, can't do anything without the time being set. How do I set this up?

Yes, I did (turning off and then on again is a way of life for any windows user!). Actually, through a process of trial and error I have fixed the problem although I'm not very comfortable with the fix. For some reason, the OS X firewall is to blame. By relaxing the firewall settings to their most lenient, the iTunes store is now fully accessible via iTunes, and so is the whole of the apple website. Another added side effect has been that general web browsing is now lightning fast.
I'm therefore left with the (temporary) conclusion that my iMac's internal firewall is only capable of blocking access to the web resources of the people who created it, and slowing my web browser to a crawl.

Trouble with home sharing after apple tv update

trouble with my home sharing after apple tv up date

Same here. iPhone, Mac Mini and Apple TV3 are all up to date. Logged in and out on each device and home sharing and airplay still don't work at all. Nothing shows up in the remote app. They're all on the same network and have been. The only thing I can think of is the most recent ATV firmware update, but why would my phone be unable to see my computer??
Any secret commands to try?

Am having all kinds of trouble enabling Home Sharing on Apple TV. Had been working previously, but now I am unable to share files between TV, Ipods and iMac. I have tried restarting all hardware, systems and connections. I recently upgraded modem?

U may need to check the settings on ur PC or Mac.
