User level: Level 1 (10 points)2nd Gen Apple TV. After 27.2, I am seeing intermittent buffering and freezing watching sports on multiple streaming services. Thought it was an issue with You Tube TV, but it's also happening on the Peacock app. My Internet speed is over 900 Mbps download & upload. Also have a Roku 4802x watching the same content on the same network and there are no issues. Rebooting the ATV doesn't help.
Was not having this issue last week before the update. Am I the only one experiencing this?
Thanks

If you are on Wi‑Fi, test the Apple TV over Ethernet (or switch back to Wi‑Fi) to rule out its network path. Also check Settings > System > Software Updates for a follow-up tvOS update. Since both apps started buffering after the update while the Roku works, include the exact Apple TV model and tvOS version if you report it to Apple Support.
