I can connect to Netflix through my iMac but unable to connect via ATV, any suggestions? I've done both hard and soft resets of ATV to no avail and rebooted router. I have a 3rd Generation ATV.
MacBook, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
That's not the same error message so it's unlikely.
What is your current connection via speedtest.net
Is DNS set to auto?
If on wifi try ethernet
All I get is the message "We're unable to connect you to Netflix. Please try again later (ATV-ui62)". I don't even get to the logon screen. The DNS on the ATV is set to automatic, I've even tried hard-wiring it from the router but the same error message. I'm using a VPN to connect to Netflix as I work in Saudi Arabia. I've also tried changing the regions between Saudi Arabia-UK-USA but still nothing. When I connect to Netflix on my iMac there is no problem, it works perfectly.
What happens when you try? You haven't given us much info to work with -- remember, we can't see what you see.
I'm just guessing, but it may have something to do with this.
I don't think it is as I use the VPN to connect to Netflix on my iMac, but thanks for the article.
But do you understand what the article is saying about Netflix being under pressure to ban VPN use?
I have the same issue, but I'm not using a VPN. I can also watch netflix on my Macbook Pro or on my iPad Air. If I try to Airplay netflix from my iPad to the AppleTV (2d gen) it will pop up a message saying an error has occurred, I can though, Airplay through my Macbook but only because I'm using the browser to stream the Netflix content.
Maybe it is the Geographical thing.
Any help is appreciated.
You will need to contact the VPN provider. Apple TV doesn't usually work well with them, unless they specifically provide support.
