ATV2 and Netflix issues?

Having the same problem...Netflix has been working fine since I received the AppleTV, but today I'm intermittently getting a "Netflix cannot be reached. Please try again later." message.

I also unplugged the AppleTV, and that only fixed the problem temporarily. Hopefully, if this is something others are experience, it's a problem that Apple and Netflix will sort out quickly.

(BTW, I have other devices that stream Netflix, such as an Xbox 360 and Sony Blu-ray player, and they are working fine. Other AppleTV features are also working fine, so this seems to be a problem specific to the AppleTV and Netflix.)

I got major issues too of not being able to login to Netflix ....
then when we finally logged in ... the Loading time of movies was just unacceptable ...

The PS3 version of Netflix loads movies much much faster then AppleTVs version .... Whats up with that ...

Even my ipad loads them much faster

My ATV2 was having a few hiccups streaming a movie last night, but I just figured it may have been issues w/ my internet since I had a lot of devices hooked up to it last night

For the past week I am unable to access my Instant Queue. WTH is going on?

Am I the only one having this error message today while loading movies?

"An error occurred loading this content. Try again later"

I called Netflix customer service but she told me this would be only my issue. All other features work fine including iTunes store, youTube, podcasts, home sharing. I unplugged and reset Apple TV but it did not fix this issue.

Fixed. I disabled 'No DNS Rebind' option in my router. I'm using dd-wrt open source firmware.

So I was having a problem with Netflix that I haven't seen mentioned on this thread but seems to be common on the ATV support forum. I had a couple movies this morning just stop streaming after like five seconds and just kick back to the movie menu. So I did some research and tried ten random movies to see what would happen. Note that I have no problems with Netflix on my iMac, xbox, iPad, or iPhone. I'm only on a 1.5mbps connection, but like I said, never had any problems before.

Taking my ten random streams had eight work totally fine. The stream started within ten seconds and the PQ was great (relatively speaking). One movie did the stopping after a few seconds and on one other movie I got an actual error (112). So in total, since getting my ATV, I've successfully streamed ten movies, got one error, and had three streams drop.

For the stream drops, I can't go back later and watch them, they never work. If i try to 'resume' it takes me to the end of the video and drops, if I 'start at beginning', the little timing bar pops up and it just sits there doing nothing. Also, two of the three stream drops were tv shows and other episodes in the show's same season work fine.

So I obviously have no solution but most movies work fine and, occurding to some posters on the official borads, both Apple and Netflix are aware of the error 112 and the stream drops and are working on a solution.

As a side not, yesterday I too received the Netflix email this morning about apologizing for problems and giving me a 2% refund.
