Hi Stephen I did not mean that iView is on Apple TV, only that I send an iView program to Apple TV for viewing. I was meaning to indicate that there is no problem with Apple TV per se. I’ll try your suggestion as well a that of Rod’s.
Thank you both for your suggestions. I have had Apple TV for several years and have never changed the resolution so it’s odd that it used to work as 1080 and now does not.
