Ive done everything on the help guide. The netflix app works on other devices just not apple tv. The only other thing i have to do is have the isp provider come and check DNS server but i dont see how that can be the problem if all other apps are working properly.

Well yes it can happen on one app or one device when everything works just fine

Netflix had this:


Restore your default connection settings

If you've modified your streaming device to use custom connection settings, restore your internet provider's default settings and try Netflix again. Custom connection settings might include:

  • If you are connecting with a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or proxy service, disable it and connect directly with your home internet. 
  • If you have changed your streaming device to a custom DNS setting, try resetting the device to acquire DNS automatically. 

If you need assistance changing these connection settings on your streaming device, please reach out to the device's manufacturer.
