Apple TV and Stream Netflix : streaming issues

A number of Apple TV customers are unable to stream Netflix movies to their devices, according to several user reports posted over the weekend.

A Netflix spokesman confirmed to Wired.com that a small number of Apple TV devices were experiencing technical issues with the service, and the company claims the issue has been fixed.

Those experiencing difficulties over the weekend received “error 111″ — or 112 or 115 — messages when attempting to watch a movie using the streaming movie service, though access to the Netflix menu screens was still possible. Complaints surfaced around Thursday July 1, continuing through the weekend.

Some users posting on the MacRumors forum pages said the issue was resolved after updating to version 4.2.2 of the Apple TV 2 software. The Apple TV update servers have been inaccessible recently, however, barring some users from the ability to update their software version.
Still, others who were updated to version 4.2.2, like Ryan Walton, continue to experience movie streaming issues.
