"Netflix is currently unavailable. Please try again later."

this is why

ok..

resolved the issue finally.

changed the DNS back to original and it all worked out again.. after re-boots, re-programs, and many other suggestions.

thank you all to offered assistance..

very appreciated.

Hey Kelico thanks for going through that online, just had the problem happen last night and I was able to fix it just now in only a few minutes, by resetting the settings on the ATV, 3rd gen.

no worries.. glad it saved some time for you. it's pretty frustrating.

Resetting my DNS settings to "Automatic" solved the problem for me. No more US Netflix in Canada, I guess!

If you're using Unblock.us you might need to check the Unblock.us site to see if they think your internet address has changed. This is the easiest fix whenever my ATV starts the "Netflix is unavailable" garbage (along with a reboot of the ATV).

After checking to ensure my subscription was still valid (i.e. on my PC) and was able to stream. I tried restart my AppleTV - no luck. Finally I went to AppleTV general menu, click on "software update" and viola....I was back up and running on my Netflix on AppleTV.

I've tried all of the suggestions in this forum and nothing has worked. It once worked great, but Im assuming since all of the updates that Apple doesn't support Nextflix anymore?? For a long time I thought is was Netflix, but after trying it on my Droid and X-Box I had no problem. Anywho, this has been going on for me for about 6 months...way too long. I'm done with "Crapple" going back to Microsoft. Like to have my $100 back to go get a Roku HD or something of the like. Hope you guys have/had better luck then me.

I just started having this problem in the last few weeks. But, I can't play "anything" on Netflix. I posted the error I am getting below. I do live in the Caribbean, but Netflix is offered here and I had been watching it just fine for a long time. We had a Netflix account prior to buying the Apple TV, but watched it through our Wii, but once we got the Apple t.v. it worked fine until recently. I have tried some of the fixes, but still nothing.

"Cannot play video, The connected display is not supported."

I also had another app that I could watch tv programs on previously, but after a recent update, I would get an error saying the programming was not available here. Kind of weird, since I had been watching it for the longest time! Very frustrated. I love Apple, so hope they fix this soon! Especially living here, I would love all the options that I used to have, otherwise......not much options.

This happened to me and went into Settings:General:Restart. Than restarted Netflix and then it worked.

My problem is resolved, I have to guess, due to an update or when I reset everything. When I bought my Apple TV, Neflix never appeared, so I had to access it from my app on my Ipad2. I did go through the steps of shutting the Apple TV down and resetting it. Now Netflix shows up on my Apple TV and everything plays perfectly. I was making it difficult for myself by trying to watch Netflix from my app and didn't think to look for the Netflix option on my Apple TV since it had not been there previously.

We tried several fixes including updating Apple software? The fix that worked was going to General > Restart ( way down at the bottom) > reopen Netflix. Netflix worked fine again after that. We do use a rerouting program to get programs from a different country and that works fine still.

Thanks for the tips everyone!

Its a simple fix. No need to reboot, router, atv etc. YOu just need to log out of netflix and then back in.

For me being in a location out of usa, do this on your apple tv:

-Settings

-itunes store

-Location

-Change your location, ie mine from usa back to Australia.

-Go to home screen and make sure netflix has gone, ie a region where its not allowed.

-Then reverse back what you'e done. change region back to USA.

-Open netfix

-VOILA !

🙂 Happy days

Thanks for the hint. Extremely simple fix but when my Apple TV settings said I was connected to my network I never thought to log out and then in again.
