I’m sorry, I am using Amazon Fire Stick to watch Apple TV! It stops loading with a gray background and asks to check internet connection! I have already done troubleshooting and restarting! It is the same thing with my other Amazon Fire Stick on another tv! I can watch on my laptop/iPad and iPhone without any problem! Thanks
