Apple TV 2 streaming performance

richieg · 2012-01-06 20:02:41

Thinking about upgrading my Apple TV ver1 to ver 2 to use airplay etc but I have read bad stories about poor movie rental streaming performance with Apple TV2. For this that use one what has been your experience and what ISP/speed are you using? Is it worth upgrading?

25mbps UPC broadband. No problem streaming HD rentals from Apple they seem to download quicker than I can watch them. 5GHz wireless N network so no problems streaming HD content from my Mac either.

I have 4Mbps irish broadband wireless and run a wireless N network in the house. Will that be enough assuming I allow some time for buffering beforehand?
Any idea how long I would need to allow?
