i can confirm the problem with 4.1 ... I have fixed the problem with updateing to 4.2.1 (tethered)... but now i can watch a 2h movie without a crash!

nxn_swe Wrote:Hi,
I think i might have found a temporary fix.
Thing is, when you disable the update notification with NitoTV, it points mesu.apple.com to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) in /etc/hosts
However, it adds a empty line first and then the above configuration.
When i manually edit the file and remove the empty line it works.
To easily check this, try disable with NitoTV, ping mesu.apple.com, check the round-trip time, edit the file manually, ping again and compare the results.
After this, i haven't had a single crash.
Hope this works for you as well.

Trying making this change.

Try from the AppleTV.
As i said, you should see the round-trip be much lower and the reply should come from 127.0.0.1.

I just had to hit return after the last line in the hosts file and then it worked and I get the same ping response as you. Thanks for all your help kind sir - couldn't have got this far without you!
