streaming programs freezing up on apple tv 4k

Programs streaming through my Apple tv 4k occasionally freeze about an hour into a program. I have to pause the program and move forward a few seconds for it to plat again. This happens with Netflix, HBO Max and others. I have Verizon fios 1gig per second and had Verizon do a full diagnosis of my system in person. They said the fios is operating fine. Is there some setting on the apple tv I need to change. Has anyone else had this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I've tried all those methods and the problem still occasionally occurs. When I experienced "no network detected" errors with HBO MAX I called their tech support and they told me the problem was a known problem with the apple tv setting "users and accounts": That I needed to turn off the tv provider in settings. This worked for that issue. I was wondering if this problem was in the same area of bad settings. I've had Verizon check the connection on line and in person in my apartment, they say it's not an internet connection issue. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

First try the basics of ensure the TV OS is up-to-date.

If you still have no luck then, please do the following:

· Unplug Modem from it’s power source for 2-3 minutes and then plug it back in.

· Unplug Router from it’s power source for 2-3 minutes and then plug it back in.

· Unplug Apple TV from it’s power source for 2-3 minutes and then plug it back in and retest the system.

If you still have no luck then you likely have a weak internet connection where the Apple TV is located. To test that you will need an app such as iStumbler to test the internet signal where the Apple TV is located.
