Q: Netflix on Apple TV 3 does not work after device resumes from sleep

Hello,

 

This has been bothering for the last few weeks: the Netflix app will not reconnect when I resume the Apple TV from standby / sleep.  It sits there spinning the wheel with the "Accessing Netflix" text on the screen.  I have to reboot the Apple TV to get Netflix to work again.  Before the device went to sleep I may or may not have been using Netflix - it doesn't seem to matter.  Netflix just won't connect after resuming from standby.

 

I may be wrong, but it seems like it started getting worse around the time the software version with the HBO Now app auto-updated a few weeks ago.

 

I have a wired ethernet connection, so you would think the network isn't a problem.

 

I vaguely remember reading something somewhere about the Flickr screensaver (which I use) causing some problems with Netflix connecting, but I can't seem to find that thread any more.  I've also tried directly putting the Apple TV to sleep by holding down the play button for five seconds, and Netflix still behaves the same after resuming from sleep.

 

Is anyone else having this problem or have any suggestions?  Thanks!
