My Apple TV is beyond slow..Help!
I am having a problem with apple TV taking forever to download or stream. ðŸ˜
A movie takes about 10-20 hours to download and it is telling me it will take 16 hours to update. How can this be fixed???
Thanks!

Is your Apple TV connect via WiFi or hard wired using Ethernet?
It's through WiFi on our network.
There are a couple things to check. First is DNS (the service that looks up IP addresses for you to connect to.) If you have put in custom DNS addresses in your Router or Mac, it could be giving the wrong servers to provide media content from. For example, if you live in San Diego, but your DNS servers are Google DNS or Open DNS, then Netflix (or the other services on your Apple TV) may be delivering content from another city.
Apple has provided local servers (called CDN or Edge) which provide a local connection to media content and Netflix for your Apple TV. This is why the Netflix experience on Apple TV can be so much better that other devices.
The second item to check, if you have a MacBook, is to place it right next to the Apple TV and run a speed test at speedtest.net.
Thank you. I will try these and see if they work.
The easiest way to ensure is to have DNS set to auto at all times (settings - general - network)
For optimal HD streaming you should have at least 6mbps, if speedtest reports a lower speed then your plan allows contact your ISP
Try ethernet to help rule out wifi issues
To see a current status of the network go to istumbler, netstumbler or similar to get a report. Look for signal strength, noise, nearby networks
My speedtest revealed that my service is slow. Is my ISP the only way to increase the speed? Verizon is not very helpful in my area.

(Hopefully one of the links will work)
Yes, you will need to contact your ISP to upgrade your plan or find out why your not getting your allowed speed (if you are paying for a higher connection)
Thanks! I do pay for a better connection speed and it's frustrating that I don't get it.
