Why does it take 121 hours to load a movie on AppleTV?

Why does it take 121 hours to load a movie on AppleTV? We are connected to Wifi with a good signal, but nothing seems to work well. We can play music for awhile, but then it just drops us. Tried apple support, not available 'til tomorrow. Purchased yesterday.


Actually we watched the movie yesterday, and now it has to load again. It's on the ipad and plays, no problem. Want to watch it on the tv. Any Thoughts?


Ready to take it back.

Apple TV has no accessible storage, it will need to load each time. The time it takes is dependent on your network.


What is your current connection via speedtest.net

Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)

The signal/network test on the device won't give a proper indication if there is a network issue. You will need to try ethernet to help rule that out, and it will also help to get a network report (istumbler, netstumbler or similar. It will show signal strength and noise as well as nearby networks)
