I keep getting error -1005 when trying to download a show on AppleTV+.
Background info: This is Apple TV on a Macbook (26.7, I haven't upgraded yet, but this is not the cause - see below). I am currently sitting in a hotel in Egypt. (Originally from Germany.)
The WLAN connection is not superfast, but it allows me to view movies and series on Apple TV (with some delay before they start). I tried downloading an episode to get a smoother experience, but I always get error -1005
I understand this is somehow related to my network connection, but:
- Streaming works, at least I do not get any errors. Is downloading a movie in any way different from streaming a movie? Different protocol?
- I also use Amazon Prime Video and it does not have any issues downloading episodes. So what does this mean?
Amazon has better servers? :-) Or do they use a different protocol, one which is a bit more flexible?
