Software Update Culprit

I’m thinking that the software update is the culprit here. So, restore your Apple TV to Factory Settings. But before doing that, try the following:


  • Try Ethernet:

Have an an Ethernet cable handy? If so, use it, as a hardwired connection may be more reliable. You’d plug one end of the cable in to your Apppe TV and into your router. See if the buffering discontinues:


If if no success...


Reset to Factory Settings:

  1. Go to: General
  2. Select: Reset
  3. Select: Restore
  4. Wait it Out: until all is reset
