Apple T.V Support
[spoil]1.Streaming issues
-If streaming performance issues occur even with a high-speed broadband Internet connection, consider these suggestions.
Check your home network
-Along with a broadband Internet connection, your Apple TV also relies on a high-speed local network to play media content quickly and reliably.
Wireless connection
-To connect Apple TV to your network wirelessly, Apple TV requires a wireless router or Base Station that is 802.11 a, g, or n compatible for streaming video.
-Your Apple TV should also be within a reasonable range of your base station or router, and in an environment with minimal wireless interference. To verify the strength of your wireless connection on your Apple TV, from the main menu, go to Settings > General > About.
-If you continue to experience slow streaming performance when viewing iTunes movie and TV show rentals, connect your Apple TV to your local network via a wired (Ethernet) connection. If streaming performance improves noticeably, then you should consider updating or troubleshooting your Wi-Fi base station or router.
Wired (Ethernet)
-If you are connecting your Apple TV to your network via Ethernet, Apple TV requires a 10/100BASE-T or faster Ethernet network.
High Definition & Standard Definition
-If your Internet connection is too slow to quickly start playing High Definition Movies or TV shows, consider changing your iTunes Store rental preference to Standard Definition. To do so, from the main iTunes menu, choose Settings > General > iTunes Store, and turn off the "Rent High Definition" option. Movies and TV shows will now be rented in Standard Definition.
Update your Apple TV software
-It's always a good idea to keep your software up to date. Software updates may include feature changes and fixes that may enhance your viewing experience.
Verify DNS and network settings
-If you are experiencing abnormal wait times when attempting to rent iTunes Movies and TV shows on your Apple TV, it could be due to changes made to your network settings (such as the DNS address on your Apple TV and/or router or base station). You should use the default DNS entry supplied by your ISP, on both your Apple TV and router. Changing the DNS entry may result in a longer time before playback begins. Also, you should configure your Apple TV to use DHCP for the network setup, unless you have a custom network with specifically-assigned IP addresses.
-To configure your Apple TV to use DHCP, from the main menu, go to Settings > General > Network > Configure TCP/IP. In the Network Setup page, select the "Using DHCP" option.
-Once you've confirmed that your Apple TV and router or base station are using DHCP without a custom DNS entry, power-cycle your Apple TV, router or base station and broadband Internet modem.
2.Resetting for unresponsive
-If you experience a blank screen, or if your Apple TV (2nd generation) becomes unresponsive, a reset should resolve the issue.
Resetting your Apple TV (2nd generation) with an aluminum Apple Remote
-Press and hold Menu and Down (buttons 3 and 4 below) on your aluminum Apple Remote for six seconds and then release when you see the LED light on the Apple TV flash rapidly.
Resetting your Apple TV (2nd generation) with a white Apple Remote
-Press and hold Menu and Menu down/scroll for six seconds, and then release when you see the LED light on the Apple TV flash rapidly.
Resetting your Apple T.V without a remote
-You can also reset your Apple TV by unplugging it from the power source for thirty seconds.[/spoil]
