Apple TV+ via browser is a catastrophic failure

Apple TV+, viewed via browser (any and all browsers), even with gigabit fiber, is monumentally awful. Playback crashes to a black screen every 3-10 minutes, requiring user to back all the way out to the main interface, re-load the episode, then find the point where it crashed before continuing to watch the show. It has been consistently like this since launch date.

Apple TV Crashing I am using 1st Gen Apple TV for streaming. Tho I find it limited compared to my Fire Stickmon other TV's in my home, it has served its purpose - until recently. The last 3 days has been impossible to watch a complete Episode without crashing. I have done ALL of the normal protocols, which are only a very temporary fix! I see the last time this was addressed on this Community was 2015! Huhhh??? Please help!!!!

Poor Quality YouTube Video on 3rd Gen Apple TV I have a 3rd Gen Apple TV (1469) and am experiencing poor quality video playback in the YouTube app. I would describe it as pixelation, digital noise or degradation - little green blocks that appear and disappear all over. After dealing with the apparently common issue of the Apple TV freezing and needing to be reset when attempting to pause a YouTube video after the 7.6 update for this model Apple TV, I downgraded my Apple TV back to firmware 7.5. I can pause again with no problems but am now having this quality issue. My bet is that it's on Google/YouTube's end, but I just wanted to see if anyone else has been having this issue. Here's a picture of what happens: Any solutions, suggestions or shared frustration is welcome!

Apple TV 4K causing tv to crash I have a 2019 Xiaomi 4k tv which I used with an Amazon fire stick 4k for a few years without any hassle. I recently got a 2022 Apple TV 4K and hooked it up to the tv. It plays from YouTube without any problem but crashes when playing content from Netflix, Apple TV app, etc. I’ve tried lowering the video settings but it doesn’t make a difference. does anyone have any ideas?
