Anyone here an AppleTV user? Have you been using it for Netflix lately? Has it been completely horrible and low resolution?
We use our AppleTV for Netflix all the time. Looks great; I can't tell if it's 720p or 1080p, but it's very high quality. Netflix changes the resolution it sends based on the network speed/latency, I believe.

Interesting. There's a widespread problem that a lot of AppleTV owners are reporting. Very poor resolution (640x480 or worse) despite a speedy network connection and other devices on the same network getting full 1080p resolution. Not isolated to one ISP, time of day or geographic location. Unfortunately, I'm one of them.

I hate using the apple tv to netflix for those very reasons. upsets me to no end that the 5 yo craptastic blu-ray has dependable and better netflix useability.

Sadly, the AppleTV was our go-to Netflix box until about a month ago. Never had this problem before then. Seems to be the general consensus. Naturally, Netflix denies that there's a problem.

even the tv's (vizio) app has better dependability for netflix. I quit on the apple tv app long ago. wish apple tv would talk to amazon prime videos.
