We have Apple Tv and have a subscription to Netflix. When we first got it, it worked well, but over time there’s been an irritating defect: some of the Netflix shows will load, and then shut down just a few minutes in. It’s almost as if the wi-fi link is down, but this never happens with a show on the Apple iTunes feed. ---

That has been happening with us on our Sharp Roku tv. No other channels, only Netflix. ---

I had problems with Netflix too. Worked great 75% of the time, but on occasion, it’d just quit buffering. I usually got a ‘try back later’ message though. It’s Netflix I’m betting.
