What speed of wifi is recommended to stream movies from Netfix?

We are looking at getting wifi since we've moved and gotten the Apple TV. What speed of wifi is recommended so we can stream movies, watch YouTube videos and use our iPad, iPhones, and MacBook?

The speed of the Wi-Fi isn't really the issue, the speed of the Internet connection is.
Test your broadband Internet connection
For the best viewing experience for iTunes content on Apple TV, you need a broadband Internet connection. We recommend these connection speeds for viewing content:
8-Mbit/s or faster for 1080p high-definition movies and TV shows
6-Mbit/s or faster for 720p content
2.5-Mbit/s or faster for standard-definition content

  • Silverlight won't work in FF4.0, cant stream movies from Netflix. SL works ok in IE 7.0 What is wrong with FF??

    I used FF to stream movies from Netflix until Dec2010. I have updated to FF 4.0 and now I can't down stream Netflix movies. I get an error from Netflix that says Silverlight is not working and must reinstall.
    BUT......Netflix and Silverlight works fine with IE 7.0
    What happened to FF4.0..and Silverlight??

    I just updated to the new Firefox and it wouldn't stream my Netflix movies. I was getting an error code related to Silverlight. I called Netflix and they had me enable my history and that fixed the problem. Their tech support, said the history/cookies must be enabled to stream movies. Hope this helps! (I also followed the prompt on the screen from Netflix with this error code to delete my old saved certificates, etc.)

  • Streaming movies from iTunes is taking up space on my iPad.

    Hello.  I have couple iPad Air's and a iPad mini.  The issue I am having is happeing with all 3 devices.  We like to stream movies from iTunes.  What I have noticed is everytime I stream a movie it takes up anwhere between 2-5 GB splace under "other".  They are all 32GB iPad's.  I plugged in the iPad to the computer yesterday and it showed 19.2 GB under "other".  I have tryied everything.  Restore, reset, setting it up as new and can't get this issue to go away. This was happening before 7.1 came out.  I called Apple and they don't have a fix for it.  This is very frustrating, as after watching few movies I start getting a message that my memory is full.  My wife has used most of her space with apps and music, she has around 3 GB available.  After she watches 1 movie she gets a message that memory is full and can't stream any longer.  So looks like the temp files are not getting deleted.  Only way to get the space back is to restore the ipad and start over until it gets full again. 

    I wish that I had an answer for you, but I can't think of anything else to try. What I find so odd is that it happens to all 3 of your devices. That doesn't make sense at all unless it has something to do with how iTunes handles what is happening on the iPad when you sync your devices.
    I update my iPhone 5S and my iPad 3 last night and then synced both devices with iTunes. When I plugged them into my MBP - they both showed an overcapacity it's due to "other". "Other" includes app data caches and when it grows out of proportion like that it means that something got corrupted. I synced the devices anyway, and the "other" dropped dramatically back to where it was on each device before I updated and where it should be.
    What I'm trying to say is something may be getting corrupted when you sync with iTunes...what it is I have no clue.

  • I bought a 3tb Time Capsule and would like to stream movie from it to my Samsung Smart TV.  Do I need Apple TV or Another App?

    I bought a 3tb Time Capsule and would like to stream movies from it to my Samsung Smart TV.  Do I need Apple TV or Another App?

    TC is not a media device.. it has no media smarts at all.
    And Apple TV is not a media player .. it is strictly a streamer.
    Apple have built their entire media system around itunes.. so without itunes running on a computer nothing will happen.
    The TC is unsuitable as location for your iTunes library as well.. you are simply slowing down the access to the library and making streaming more prone to glitches.
    TC is for TM backups.
    Use your Mac with iTunes library on an external hard disk if it is too big to fit in the internal disk.
    The samsung TV cannot use the TC either because it needs a DLNA server extension on the storage.
    There is however one way.. and not recommending it.. just saying it can be done.
    Depending on how your media files are formatted.. you can use a WD live TV.
    Because WD TV is a full media player and can play raw media files (almost any format) directly from a media source without DLNA, you can play your movie files.. but IMHO it is much easier to simply get a WD MyCloud or any cheap NAS.. that has built in DLNA media server.. almost all do.. and then your TV can play the media directly without any other player.

  • Can u stream movies from netflix on the iphone 5 on to a tv without a cord?

    Can u stream movies from netflix on the iphone 5 on to a tv without a cord?

    Unfortunatly with movies in the iCloud it physically gets downloaded to your device. I am thinking some of the reasons for this is because of possible changes in bandwidth speed on 3G or 4G networks well as coverage for those networks. Nothing would be worse when watching a movie that I am streaming I the car and I loose cellular coverage. The good news is with it downloading when you are done watching it, delete it and download another one.

    What exactly happens when you try to view a movie?  And how exactly are you "unloading" Silverlight?

  • Streaming movies from iPad to apple tv

    Hi
    I have just updated my iPad software to the new iso.
    I am trying to stream movies from my iPad to the new apple tv but I can only hear the sound and I don't get the actual vedio.
    The main reason why I got the apple tv was that I would be able to stream vedio to the tv from my iPad.
    Please let me know what I need to do.
    Thanks
    Itai

    I am with you on that. I can stream music from the iPad straight to the home cinema system through apple tv. I can also use the iPad as a remote to stream movies and pics from the Mac.
    But can't seem to throw movies or photos directly from the iPad to the screen via apple tv.
    Another annoyance is that as I type this from the iPad the cursor clicks can be heard through my home ent system as I am streaming music from my iPad simultaneously.
    Any help!

    No, you will need to purchase your content from iTunes instead.

  • Streaming movies from Time Capsule to Apple TV without opened iTunes Library

    Hello !
    It is possible to streaming movies from my Time Capsule without using Mac or iPhone like streaming device
    For example ( I am using Time Capsule for movies Libary, Apple TV for streaming movies, but when i have MacBook Pro off, my iTunes Libary is off and i can't  streamimg my movies directly)
    It is possible streaming Movies on my Apple TV without opened iTunes on my Mac ? I mean if it is possible streaming directly from TC to Apple TV, when Libary it on TC.
    Thank you for your answears.

    Hi,
    you can stream from the Time Capsule, but must always have a player in the middle, either an iOS device or a mac compatible with video airplay.
    If you want to use an iOS device, you can get the app FileBrowser. This allows your device to stream videos from the timecapsule, play them, and play on the AppleTV.
    As erfurtivo said, O!play works perfectly with the TimeCapsule, if you don't want more devices in-between.
    Hope this helped

  • How can I stream movies from amazon

    I am trying to stream movies from Amazon Prime with HDMI cable and continue to get message that says: AirPlay mirroring and HDMI output are not currently available. To AirPlay video to an Apple TV, first disable mirroring: Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to access control center to find AirPlay options. 

    Sorry, got distracted and posted prematurely. 
    This appears to be an ongoing issue with amazon and netflix.
    Can not find an answer.
    Maybe someone else knows how to solve.

  • Being that I have a Mac Pro, what program I have to use to download movies from the Veehd website?

    Being that I have a Mac Pro cpu, what program I have to use to download movies from the Veehd website?

    If you want to download veehd videos, remember not to download any plugins. I have suffered by its redirecting my homepage many times.  If you want to download the video still, you can refer to the post from which I succeeded at last after using the suggested tools.
