Q: It takes literally hours to load a move and I have good wireless signal...what's up with that?

It is taking literally hours for movies to load on Apple TV using both NETFLIX and iTunes.  I have a strong wifi signal and according to the connection test, all is well.  What's up with that?

Apple TV, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

    Wifi signal and connection test don't really give a good indication of where things are at

     

    Check speedtest.net to see actual connection speed, needs at least 6mbps consistently for instant HD stream

     

    Check istumbler.net or netstumbler to verify interference

     

    Male sure you are on the ISPs DNS (settings - network - configure DNS - automatic)
