Q: ATV 4 Home Sharing
Are other ATV4 owners still having home sharing issues? Are people sending feedback to Apple about the issue?
I was hopeful that the latest update would have fixed the issue but it has not. Instead, the ATV4 just collects dust since using the Roku is less of an annoyance than restarting the ATV4s every time I want to connect to home sharing and the Sling app stream on Roku is far better than ATV.

A somewhat speculative suggestion, but this might be one of those situations where allowing devices to configure automatically with DHCP might work better than static assignments. You ought to be able to make reservations on the Airport Extreme so the same addresses are assigned, e.g. http://www.macinstruct.com/node/553. This could potentially improve the results of whatever network discovery mechanisms are used.
