Anything longer than a few seconds for any TV is too long... Installed any funny apps lately that might be hogging start-up resources? Might start with removing those.. Then there's factory reset, which if it still doesn't resolve it.. Time to call tech fellas and claim any warranty.

Go to settings, about, do a restart to clean up.

Also... if u unplug power everytime after use, that can happen, esp if yr wifi connection is weak or router just powering up.

Not 3 min... more like 1min.

Try not to cut power, but put tv on standby.

If wifi is ready, it takes 2 seconds to power up, all connected.

express vpn cud be the explanation.

google ATV has security against use of foreign netflix, tubi, etc., may be confused by the use of this vpn.

remove it to see if any diff.

something not right... cud b hardware.

better contact sharp for service.

that's alright.

just remember to post something when case solved in the al1x thread for other users:

slightly off topic , does the expressvpn helps with buffering?

streaming movies nowadays seems very bad on beetv and titanium. Any other apks to suggest?
