This setup works fine on the Virgin Mobile hotspot, and Virgin Mobile in a ZTE Mifi, but since moving to Vodafone R219h and the Max mobile broadband package I'm getting consistent errors each time I hit play.
It seems from my research that Vodafone are blocking some sort of certificate server for Netflix on the Apple TV, the Apple TV isn't getting an exact time sync with Netflix so the certificate key is wrong and I'm getting error: Error 139 NFErr_MC_AuthFailure. This server is specific to Apple TV certificates. It seems this has been a historical error documented for about the last 4 years but Vodafone have dodged the issue with other customers.
Further to this to prove its likely an network block/error it has been documented with other networks such as Virgin Mobile which had to go through some steps to resolve it for all users: community.virginmedia.com/t5/Networking-and-WiFi/Netflix-Issue/td-p/4116205/page/1
To clarify, using other services immediately resolves the issue, changing the R219h for another Mifi device using the Vodafone SIM replicates the error, so its obviously the Vodafone service that is the common denominator here. All software updates have been applied to my Apple TV and R219h.
Interested to know if anybody else has got around this, or know the right people to speak to at Vodafone?
