ATV G1 Movie Rental Download Sporadic 23/4/14

Hi all,


All the menu items on my ATV1 have come back, and I successfully began a download of a rented movie; however, the download is sporadic and stops at random intervals. I can to go Settings / Downloads and click on Check for Downloads and it will continue - have yet to see if it can do right to the end. It's just a hassle.

Apple TV, V. 3.0.1

Hi Alex,


I had to disconnect all links between the ATV and computers, unplug the ATV, plug it back in again and re-connect all computers.


The only lingering problem I have is that I have to soft-boot the ATV when I plug the external HDD back in the USB port before it will recognise it. I do have a 1TB HDD, so I always expect it to take a while to be recognise, but unless I restart the ATV i don't get access to it.


If you still have problems after that, I'd suggest starting another thread.


Regards,


Mitchies
