MTKB_E70-F3,

Is that a Vizio smart TV? 2018 UHD E-series? Apple TV app-supported devices - Apple.


Why is it Apple TV is constantly pausing and not streaming ?

Could it be a network/bandwidth issue? Can you measure on the TV itself? Does it have tools for that? Apple recommends at least 25 Mbps for 4K HDR content, per streaming device. Video streaming FAQ - Vizio Support.


Else see: If you can't watch or stream movies and TV shows in the Apple TV app - Apple Support.
