Netflix: netflix is currently unavailable at this time. please try again later.

Hi,


I've had an Apple TV2 for about a month now and today I'm having an issue with Netflix. When I try to pull up Man Men I get the following error: netflix is currently unavailable at this time. please try again later


However every other thing I've tried playing on Netflix works. I click a movie/tv show and there's a small delay but with Mad Men that message immediately appears like it's cached.


I tried restoing my Apple TV2, I've streamed the show on my computer and iPhone with no issues it's only on my Apple TV that I cannot watch this show.

AppleTV 2, iOS 4.3.3

Exact same problem with Mad Men. Sometimes the loading wheel displays and individual still shots of the show will appear...but video won't work. Sometimes restarting the ATV2 fixes the issue. Tonight I'm getting "netflix is currently unavailable" for the first time. Other shows work fine on ATV2 right now. Everything works fine on Netflix for iPad or on my Mac. I'm also in the NYC area. Not sure where others are.

Same problem with Mad Men here. Watched two episodes last night. My wife and daughter watched four episodes this afternoon. Then Netflix not available tonight for only this show starting around 7:00 pm. Unplugged everything from Apple TV, reset DNS on Apple TV, and then even restored Apple TV to no avail. All other shows are fine on Apple TV except Mad Men and Mad Men episodes stream fine to MacBook and IPad. Can't figure this out.

Same here in CA, Apple TV 2, have been watching Mad Men on netflix with no issue until today. I'm up to season 4, but now I get that message when selecting the show, but only with Mad Men. I've tried restarting the Apple TV 2, and I've tried signing out and then back in to Netflix, but no change.


Streaming Mad Men works fine in Safari though.


Very strange
