anyone managed to successfully used smartDNS on their Apple TV? or ideally to use vpn on router?

I'm using ExpressVPN's DNS for my Apple TV.

It is not perfect, occasionally takes forever to load - especially for local contents (because its a VPN right?), so after streaming 1 episode and when it continues to the next episode, it will require a system restart otherwise it will keep playing at low-res (blurry).

That bad, huh? shocking.gif

I wonder if using ExpressVPN's router method will yield better results. If not, no point in even subscribing for their kinda pricey subscription.

I tried Smart DNS Proxy (free trial) and it works well.

the only thing make me update is i use homekit and i have AppleTV (connected wired lan) and Homepod mini
this 18.0 can select preferred device as HUB sweat.gif previously and all this while it auto select, sometime jump to Homepod mini rclxub.gif
having HUB with AppleTV wired connection i think more stable laugh.gif

Not available. Also add AstroGo to that list. TVB Anywhere also even though TVB Anywhere USA is available for the ATV.

I'm afraid not. Just not available, in the case of Astro and Unifi, maybe they just want ppl to use their set top boxes. Prevent account sharing also I guess.
