Apple TV app

Will play trailers, show the menu, etc but when the show actually starts, screen goes black. When I I did troubleshooting and checked connectivity, all was ok

Do you have a Cable/Port Test Unit to verify connectivity? ISP's will likely

charge for a Technician Visit.


Terminology can be confusing to many Streaming Customers who first used 'Dial-Up, DSL, & CableTV'.


Here's one AppleTV Tech Concept which may help:

  • Your AppleTV is the Connected Streaming Unit which Hosts Users Streaming apps; that Streaming Unit, like a Computer, is managed by it's Operating System.
  • 'AppleTV plus', unlike Streaming apps, is part of your AppleTV Operating System. So 'AppleTV plus' cannot be managed like a app. For instance, AppleTV plus cannot be Removed, OffLoaded, or Managed like your Streaming Apps.
  • But You can manage the 'AppleTV Streaming Unit Settings' which 'may' contribute to BandWidth buffering. Turn Off the AppleTV Settings which you don't use.
  • Look for 'AppleTV Buffering' Posts here on this Apple User discussion forum which may offer insights for your 'buffering' problem.
  • Good Luck!
