Hi Neil, We got an Apple TV for Christmas and so far, we have had very few problems with stuttering or freezing if we're streaming from a device in our home, like a Mac, iDevice or a centrally based network drive where a lot of our videos etc are kept. The only time we've experienced the occasional problem with buffering content is when we've tried to listen to internet radio, though usually this works very well and we don't have a problem. The few times we've watched Youtube on it they've worked fine.
Lately I have had the occasional problem where if we're listening to internet radio it'll freeze if I try to exit out of the internet radio menu if it's still playing, but I can't reliably reproduce this issue so can't accurately troubleshoot it. Overall, we've found the Apple TV works beautifully with our setup, and on the few occasions we have had streaming buffer issues, at least one of those has been a known problem on the server end, rather than ours. Hope this helps. Cheers, Chantelle On 27/04/2011, at 9:19 AM, Neil James wrote: > Greetings one and all. Well, the subject line says it all.
