How to setup the Apple TV with playmoTV DNS

  1. When your Apple TV has turned on navigate with your remote and open Settings.
  2. Here just select Network.
  3. If you have connected your Apple TV to your Wi-Fi network, select it and click to continue. (If you connect via an Ethernet Cable, click Ethernet.)
  4. A new window will appear, where you need to click your Wi-Fi network again. Do that and continue.
  5. Once this window appears, go down until you see the Configure DNS field, which is probably set to Automatic. Scroll down and click this field. Make sure NOT to change the Configure IP field. That should still be set to Automatic.
  6. Once you click the Configure DNS field, you will see the current DNS server (which is your router at the moment).
