Netflix streaming issue after Apple TV update to 6.0

I was one of the people with this issue. Nothing changed with my setup, but it is working perfectly again. The big Netflix and Comcast deal a few weeks back seemed to roughly be the time it was fixed for me.

Hi VancityFam. You may have a bum AppleTV. Are you able to stream TV programs or movies from iTunes without an issue? (If you don't own any content, you might look to see if you can find some free content -- such as a pilot TV episode). Most people on this discussion had a very different issue where they could stream Netflix, but the image quality was very poor. If you live anywhere near an Apple Store, you might want to take the Apple TV to them. They are very good about replacing troublesome devices that are within their warranty period (and sometimes beyond). You might want to check if your Apple TV has a serial number mentioned in the list provided in the article below. I had one. It had intermittent connection issues, and Apple replaced it for me.

i have the same issue. netflix takes a very long time to load on apple tv. i've tested this over and over and even spent 2 hours with netflix support. they could see that there was nothing wrong with my connection and they couldn't figure it out. at the same time all other apple tv channels work flawlessly. hbo go loads immediately and i can stream 1080p movies from my computer very quickly. but netflix stalls forever. once a movie or show starts, it plays fine and the quality is good. but if i start a new movie, then it is wait forever again.

I wonder if you are you being throttled by your ISP. I am under the impression that this issue mostly went away for most of us.

i doubt it. i'm with a small local company. they have no stake in throttling specific services. plus they would have to be targeting apple tv netflix specifically as it runs very smoothly on my macbook, iphone and on my wii u.

Oh, I can't imagine what it could be, then. Did they have you factory reset it and install updates again?

That does sound a lot like the original problem which did affect primarily the Apple TV. However, it went away for just about everyone a year ago. I hope it isn't resurfacing! I hate suggesting it, as it takes a bit of time, but one option you might try, if you haven't already, is to fully reset your Apple TV, which should cause it to download the operating system again. I am just hoping that this might clear up what could be corrupted code (but it is a long shot).

a restart did not work for me.

youtube app works fine, it has to be a netflix error.

on my iMac netflix won't load after the login page. (safari & firefox)
