[QUOTE="DavidHH, post: 1163564, member: 145862"] I have rented 2 HD movies now and it works without problem. Once I have selected the it shows that it is downloading. I would say it took only about 1 min - at the most 1 min 30 seconds. The only thing I have noticed is when I press play, the movie starts and runs for a couple of minutes and then pauses while more of the movie "caches". What I have learned to do to solve this is the following. Once I press play to start the movie I immediately press pause for maybe two minutes and then press play again. This in allowing the stream to get ahead for me and I do not have any further issues. I am running the Apple TV (2nd Gen) over a 802.11n WiFi Network. I have a really good cable package that allows me 16 GB download speed and 1 GB upload speed. But I am not sure that the Cable Connection is making that much difference as it can only download it as fast as the server sends it out and that is usually the bottle neck for most things. Thankfully I have not had the "2 hour" problem that I have read about. One forum thread was suggesting that Apple TV did not like Google DNS or Open DNS and that you should use your local ISPs Domain. DavidH [/QUOTE]
