Hi
I have a second generation Apple tv and we frequently have problems with streaming content whether
it is HBO GO or Amazon prime. We are up to date with our updates. Could this be a problem
because we have a second generation product? Please advise.

Neither of those services are available on the Apple TV and both apps block their use with AirPlay from a mobile device.
Well that is interesting. We use my ipad mini to mirror/airplay Amazon prime. But there is an HBOGO option
on the menu of my apple tv.
You're correct about HBO GO, I thought it was just HBO on the Apple TV, but there we go. I think you may have been mistaken about AirPlay though.
Yes, we use hbo go directly through Apple TV. We stream Amazon prime through my ipad then airplay to the TV.
My question really is do you think my streaming buffer delays could be because my apple
tv is from 2010?
Well, having read the app, it does indeed say that it will work with AirPlay (many have said this isn't possible, I just took it as read they were correct).
No I don't think it's anything to do with it being an older Apple TV, if you are having problems using AirPlay, you most likely have a problem with your wifi network.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
