OT- network/Apple TV question

[dickiedawg]

I'm attempting to watch the BPL/EPL on my Apple TV and I'm dealing with a huge amount of buffering and skipping. I'm getting upwards of 16 mb/s tested on my phone over wifi (though the Apple TV is connected via an Ethernet connection- wifi was even worse).
Last week at my in-laws, I was getting less buffering despite a much slower connection (< 3 mb/s) over wifi.

What might be causing this and what can I do about it?

Stupid question, but have you restarted and updated it?

I had that issue before and after I updated and rebooted it worked better.

old generation apple tvs just dont seem to do well. I have one and have 150 mbps and if i use watchespn direct through the box it gets a worse picture and more buffering than if I pull up the watchespn app on my same wifi on my ipad and then flip the app on airplay up to the tv through the apple tv.

explain that

My software is up to date (set to automatic updates). Restarting it hasn't helped.
