In a similar vein I wish Spotify had way more of a presence on set-top boxes in general. It's on Roku but nothing else, and it makes no sense to me. I'm intentionally not counting clients built into receivers or smart TVs, since those UIs are almost always awful to the point where I'd rather AirPlay the audio from a computer than run the built-in app on a TV or receiver. I could understand it not being on Apple TV, but I'd think that at a bare minimum, there would be a Spotify app for all the major game consoles.

I just cut my TiVo. Unusable slow junk for $200 + $15 / month.
It is much better on the Premiere and Roamio than on the Series 3 and earlier...
Anyway, that was just one annoyance out of many. TiVo is garbage, slightly better smelling garbage than the cable providers give you, but still garbage, and at a higher price. No thanks; my HTPC is outperforming any DVR I have ever had.
The complaint I have is that I'm a secondary member on the prime account. (wife is #1 in many ways... prime account is one of them.) I don't get the option to play any of the 'prime' stuff being a secondary member.
I find to get AirPlay working reliably, you really need to have one of the devices wired.
Maybe you are using a congested channel on 2.5ghz?
Also worth mentioning like everyone else, make sure you aren't mirroring, but only sending the stream to the ATV.
I think if you read your question this way and look at how Apple historically has done business, you will find your answer without the need for further examination.
