Netflix issues Apple TV

Netflix streaming on my Apple TV seems to work great, but some specific shows will not stream well. (i.e. Buffy will work every time, but I can never get Angel to stream properly!) I'm not sure if it can be fixed, I'd just love an explanation! Thanks!

I have this same issue every couple of days. I called Netflix and they said it was an issue with the Apple TV and to contact Apple support. After calling Apple support the solution was to unplug the Apple TV unit from the electric outlet for at least 1 minute. After plugging the unit back in, when it came back up everything worked fine. I've only had the unit for about 3 weeks and the first time it happened was about 12 days in. In the past 4 days though I've had to do it almost everyday. It only does this with Netflix though. The other services like YouTube and MobileMe all work just fine. Is this really an Apple TV issue or a Netflix issue?

  • Netflix Issues: Apple TV (3rd gen)

    I keep receiving errors and it is not loading properly at all the videos barely load its just a mess. I keep getting errors as well.
    Anyone else?

    If while playing on Netflix.com a Watch Instantly title you can
    Option&Shift and Click on the video at the same time
    Click Stream Manager > Manual Selection
    you can see even HD is never more than 4000ish kbps which is 4mbps (I have a 30mbps internet connection) and the Apple TV with one N-antenna supports up to 65mbps and I am receiving 4/5 bars, my Wifi signal is exceptional (2TB Time Capsule) and my Macbook Pro receiveds 200+mbps in the same room.
    I found music was playing choppy as well from iCloud there has to be an issue with the Wifi as it currently is in the software because it wasn't working at all and I can stream 1080p Netflix on my Macbook Pro no problem.
    I ended up plugging it in to one of the ethernet jacks that is right there and instantly Netflix loaded and loaded all the pictures. But for some I could see the bandwith being an issue but I know it's not for me.

  • Issue accessing Netflix from Apple TV

    I keep receiving an error message when I try to play a video through Netflix, that "Apple TV is having an issue communicating with Netflix".

    I am pretty sure it is neither.  Where are you seeing this?  What is the message with that error code?

  • When I go to buy a movie on netflix, with apple tv, it keeps telling me to go to the iStore and update my payment information.  I have done this over and over, but it still keeps doing that.  Any ideas?

    Movies are not bought via Netflix, then are rented or borrowed.

  • When downloading movies form netflix my apple tv streaming keeps stopping ?      ?

    While streaming movies from Netflix through Apple TV, the movies keep stopping. My WIFI signal is strong. Can anyone help? Thank You.

    Ok so I've been doing more testing. It's all videos on the iTunes store. Anytime I try to download a podcast or stream it or anything it's super slow. To download an episode of Diggnation it tells me over 2 hours to download but the time keeps climbing and I just stop the transfer.
    Some people said it's an Open DNS thing? Maybe it is but it's not computer specific and I couldn't find a way to change the DNS settings in my Airport, only on each computer. I tried deleting PLists and restoring my Apple TV and restoring my Airport and nothing is working.
    I don't know if it an issue with me, my ISP or Apple. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

    How can I get netflix on Apple TV to auto play the next episode?

    I don't have the answer to this question, and yes, I checked the "I have the same question, too" box.. But so did 30 some other people.. So, I've scoured the web and looked high and low into the Apple TV device.. HOW CAN I DO IT? My playstation 3 did it[.. My WDTV box top I've had for 2 years can do it! My Smart Vizio TV [netflix app built in to the tv] can do it! My Apple ipad can do it. My iPhone can do it.. So, can my Apple TV do this? Or Not?

  • How can I stream Netflix on Apple TV

    How can I stream Netflix to Apple TV? On Apple TV Internet setting shows you tube but not Netflix.

    You'll need to make sure you have the new black small AppleTV and not the original one.
    If you do have the new one, you can make sure to do any of the software updates from the settings menu (I think.. I don't have one to reference).
    It appears under the Internet tab and is very clearly on the list.

  • I am trying to access netflix on apple tv and keep getting an error. Ideas?

    I am trying to watch a movie on netflix through apple tv and it keeps saying error try again.

    It could be related to the network.
    Check current speed using speedtest.net
    Go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of your network, it will help to see if there's interference.
    On Apple TV, go to settings - general - network and make sure DNS is set to automatic.

  • Cannot log in or out of Netflix on Apple TV

    I cannot log out of Netflix on Apple TV, my daughter has input my email address incorrectly and despite trying to log out it returns to the home page and offers me a free month or to log out of the wrong email address. Help!!!

    If you go to the Settings menus you may be able to reset the AppleTV and remove all user settings - yes you'd have to enter the others again but might solve this.

  • ¿Cuando incluyen Netflix al Apple TV en México?

    ¿Cuando incluyen Netflix al Apple TV en México? Lo único que están haciendo es dejar libre el mercado a otros dispositivos en México que si lo están ofreciendo.

    without know your language then
    the DRM encryption of dvd's block such things as airplay mirror and remote desktop and the likes
    displaying checkers in grey and dark grey
    it's 100% by design and is suppose to do so
    though people say that the free dvd playing software called vlc player works which would indicate that the vlc player people disable the encryption of the dvd to display it which would be a bit illegal I suppose

  • No sound from Netflix on apple tv 2

    I can play a movie from Netflix on apple tv 2 and I get no sound but i can play the same movie from netflix on my ipad 1 and i have sound. how can i fix the sound on my apple tv?

    when people have surround enabled but stereo speakers connected the stereo speakers are front left and right
    but most audio in surround really come from the center speaker
    so you do get audio just not the audio you want
    one only notice when the media is in surround otherwise all speakers play stereo even the ones you people have not connected
    it's not a bug it's a setting which is set wrong if
    by the user it's a error 40 if it's the default setting then one could advocate that apple chose a wrong default value
    as more people would only have stereo then surround
