Apple TV keeps buffering

Everything else works fine but Apple TV will buffer to no end. I can’t watch anything on it without getting annoyed and turning it off. Why is this still a problem?!

Unfortunately, I haven’t read about brand-specific troubleshooting steps for Vizio TVs.


  • Try cold restarting the TV (not standby-on, but a real restart).
  • Try resetting the Apple TV app.
  • See if there is newer TV system software available for your TV model. Install if available.


Can you measure the bandwidth to your TV? Videos from Apple may stream with up to 25 Mbps for 4K HDR content. It might buffer when less is available.
