When I have Circle enabled, my Apple TV becomes unusable. Almost none of the apps work (netflix, bbc, even the app store). I have the device marked as "unmanaged," and yet Circle is still apparently screwing with its connections. I also use Layer3 cable-over-internet TV and this also seems to have problems with Circle. Why isn't "unmanaged" really "unmanaged?"

Thanks for the reply. Both issues are resolved. After several restarts of both devices, Circle finally stopped managing the Apple TV. I found that the layer3 device actually had 2 connections (one cryptically named) and I needed to unmanage both.

Hi drdoz,

Welcome to the community!

1. Are the same services (Netflix, BBC, App Store) functioning on another unmanaged device?

2. Have you tried setting a filter level (Adult) for the Apple TV and check if the issue will persist?

Regards,

Dexter
