    It's having an issue connecting to the network. Make sure location is set correctly, DNS should be set to automatic (settings - general - network). If on wifi try ethernet. Make sure router is up to date. Reboot ATV and router.

    G'day mate,

     

    I had this problem too, and it took me a while to sort it out.

     

    So it turns out, here in Australia, only one Internet Service Provider (ISP) includes or uses the date / time function in their modems. This means, unless your ISP is Telstra, you will most certainly have the activation error you are speaking about.

     

    To fix this problem, create a Personal Hotspot with your iPhone and connect your Apple TV to your iPhone. Activate the Apple TV, then you can go ahead and connect to your standard home WiFi.

     

    Hope this helps.

     

    Pete.
