Apple TV keeps on freezing

My Apple TV videos keep on freezing while watching on Mac. The OS is up to date and the freezing continues in the full screen mode for some reason.


MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.5

  • Make sure your Mac is connected to WiFi on the 5Ghz band. Check this by holding down the Option key and clicking the WiFi icon in the menu bar. Under Channel it will list the band in the parentheses. If it shows 2.4Ghz, that would be a problem as that band is plagued with interference from other devices and a much smaller bandwidth between channels. The solution for this is to create a 5Ghz only network on your router and connect your Mac to this network. The details on how you do that depends on what router you are using.
  • If that is not it, I would recommend to post the free EtreCheck report using the Additional Text option when posting. This will list the processes running on startup that may be conflicting with efficient network access. The report contains no personal information.
