I gave netflix a call, after reading another post on this site. I explained that I couldn't use Audio Description for the titles that have it on the Apple TV and they fixed it on their end in around 15 minutes.

I had to sign out of Netflix and back in again, then AD worked fine.

I believe if this temp fix is applied, AD is always on for the titles that have it. Apparently they are working on a better solution.

Cheers,
Jen.

I will definitely try calling them. Audio description and Netflix was one of the main reasons I purchased my new Apple TV, since I switched to the fourth gen from the second gen.
