New Apple TV - Netflix constant crashing

Anyone else encounter this? New 4th gen Apple TV, when watching Netflix, app crashes back to home screen every few minutes. I also tried a number of different shows on Netflix and all exhibit the crashing. Hulu, HBO, BBC news, etc, all work without issue. I have even done the full factory reset and re-downloaded the OS and apps. Netflix still won't play nice. Netflix on my blu-Ray player streams fine as does Netflix on my iPad, all on the same network. Any thoughts?

no experience with ATV4, but I did try ATV3 which I bought specifically for HBO Now, and after watching 3-4 episodes just fine, it started buffering a lot. I tried on my laptop and it buffered a lot. It may or may hont have been Comcast throttling HBO Now. I ordered a new ATV3 (exchange) but luckily HBO Now became available on Roku and I started using Roku and it never buffered, not even once. I send ATV back to Amazon.

Roku is far from perfect, but ATV3 was even farther away from my point of view.

Odd. We have an ATV4 and a Roku3, both work fine for streaming Netflix (though the ATV4 is quite a bit faster).

No issues with ATV4 and Netflix here either other than the weird interface. It's very confusing how to pause a show anymore which seems like a weird thing to screw up.

Wow, is it that bad?

With the ATV3 pressing the select button paused video playback but with the ATV4 I have not figured out a way to pause playback. I end up exiting out of the video and then pressing resume. It is also very confusing how to see the time remaining in a show. Extra things keep popping up on the screen and again I have to exit playback and resume. Overall I can't say I'm too thrilled with the ATV4 and I could not recommend it. My wife can't figure it out either and she gets pretty angry which doesn't make my life any easier.

This doesn't work?



Unless I'm missing something, which is always possible.






I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.
