Apple TV 4K Buffering Solution
I've had my ATV for a while but it has suffered constantly from the start with buffering. I can watch Prime, Netflix, Sky Q and ironically Apple TV app on a Samsung TV without issue. All online advice always try to blame the broadband for this but no one can answer the simple issue of why can watch all of the others if the broadband is bad (It's a solid 36Mbps BTW)
I pay for ATV+ so was getting frustrated that I cant watch it downstairs on the big TV that has the actual ATV 4K box! I did all the restarts, resets of the ATV & broadband router all to no avail.
In a last-ditch effort to save the ATV from the sledgehammer, I called Apple Support.
After initially blaming my broadband (no surprise) and checking all my settings and network it was pretty much dismissed at too much bother until the chap casually mentioned about seeing if I had 5Ghz on the BB router, I said it was switched off as I didn't use it. He said it was much better to use that if the router was fairly close, so I switched it on and voila, buffering gone!
Now, you may wonder why I'm moaning about it.
It's just that with such a simple solution to an issue why isn't it advice that is given in self-help searches and possible solutions on Apple Support pages.
