Q: OS X Yosemite. My Apple TV 2nd Gen is VERY SLOW
Lately my Apple TV 2nd Gen (updated OK) is very slow watchinng TV shows. Said it would take 1 hr plus dto download a Good Wife episode at 1080p..
I switched to 720p — it's still taking 10 minutes before a show starts, then 3 or 4 times during show I can see the playback catch up to the white "Loading" line and it stops to buffer again for 3 or 4 minutes.
Absolutely crazy! Never did it before.
I have Airport Extreme upstairs in office (wood frame house) maybe 50 ft away. Was always OK with a bit of pausing, etc. Last eek added my Airport Express right behind the TV and set it up as an extension of my existing Wi-Fi.
When it was still slow I ran a Cat 5 cable from the Airport Express to the back of the Apple TV. Doesn't seem to help.
My Home Internet — in Toronto — Rogers.com Extreme internet.. Pay for 35Gb/sec but it is usually between 50 and 70 Gb/sec download speed and 5Gb/sec upload.
HELP???
MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
