I'm finding that when streaming video or audio from either my iPad 1 or iPhone 4 to my Apple TV 2, it more often than not fails (although it does occasionally work). I'd say 6/10 it fails.

I'll:


Start playing the media
Press the AirPlay button (either from within the app or on the task bar)
Choose the Apple TV receiver


and after a few seconds it'll revert back to displaying on the local device.

I select the AirPlay option either before the media starts, or during it. It doesn't seem to make a difference.

Some times it'll look as though Apple TV tries to load it, other times it does not.

This happens with any application I use (eg. Safari, Spotify, Downcast).

My setup is as follows:


My iPad and iPhone 4 are connected to an Airport Express
My Apple TV is wired to a Netgear DG934G (a Sky Broadband router).
The Netgear and Airport Express are wired to each other.
I also have a laptop running XBMC which is acting as a AirPlay receiver. This is connected wirelessly to the Netgear. This too is flakey in terms of supporting AirPlay.


Is it common for AirPlay to fail this frequently, or do I have problem?

Thanks.

Answer: I found an excellent introduction in Gelman and Hill (2006) Data Analysis Using Regression and Multilevel/Hierarchical Models. (Other comments mention it, but it deserves to get upvoted on its own.)
