Major streaming issue.

[MrMacMan]

Hey Guys,

 

I am having major streaming issues with my Macbook and Apple TV. Here is a detailed overview of my setup.

 

Netgear 802.11G Router

SSID off

WEP 128 Bit hex key

DHCP

 

Wireless devices

Powerbook G4

Macbook

Apple TV

iPod Touch

XP laptop

 

Wired device

XP desktop

 

All these devices are able to access the wireless network fine - and have no problem connecting to the internet.

 

Apple TV is running SW 2.0 - I don't know if the same issue would have occurred in SW 1.0 as I did the SW upgrade on it straight away (getting close to a system reset though)

 

I am able to see the Apple TV in iTunes 7.6 and have all the details of my Apple TV.

 

When I try to play any of "my movies" I sometimes get an error saying can't recognize file type or something along those lines - or it just gets stuck on a black screen with the buffering "spinning gear" winding till the Apple TV goes in to the screen saver.

 

I tried on many different resolutions but it did not fix the issue.

 

The same thing happens with TV Shows and Podcasts - haven't tried YouTube just yet.

 

I am able to play movie trailers though both standard definition and high definition.

 

Another thing to mention is the load up of the Apple TV is very jittering and stutters.

 

The thing that makes me wonder is I ran it on another Netgear G router network earlier today and everything went fine - and I was able to playback videos that I am not able to do now - which kind of makes me look at the network - but the fact that HD trailers load almost instantly and play fine makes me think perhaps Apple TV? The fact it doesn't load smoothly concerns me.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
