Apple TV buffering

I try to watch the Apple TV movies but the buffering never stops. It'll play for a few but then kicks into buffer mode. How do I fix this continual buffering?

Hi Justjean3,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand you're experiencing an issue watching Apple TV content. Check out what steps to take that can resolve issues while streaming or watch movies with the Apple TV app here:

1. If multiple people on your network are using the internet, your connection speed might slow down. Ask them to temporarily pause their internet activities.

2. If you're using a smart TV or streaming device, turn it off and back on again. If you're using an Apple device, restart it.

3. Tap or click the download button to try downloading the movie or TV show instead.*

See more about those steps and some others steps that can resolve this here: If you can't watch or stream movies and TV shows in the Apple TV app - Apple Support

Thanks.
