Q: Apps are not loading on ATV (3rd Gen)
Apple TV 3rd Gen is not loading any apps. The three I have tried are ABC, Netflix, ESPN, and Crackle. It's not always the initial page that refuses to load, but somewhere along the way to watching a show they get stuck on a spinning wheel. I've tired the following:
Tested network/download speed on ATV (it's good).
Restarted ATV from remote, then unplugged for 1 minute.
Power cycled cable modem, router, and ATV.
Hard reset modem to factory settings, and only added WEP security.
In ABC, I removed my TV provider login. When I attempt to verify access, the verification screen loads, however there is no code given (it's just a black space where a code would normally show).
All very odd and it doesn't seem to be a widespread network issue since no similar issues are getting reported.
Any ideas?

Just in case anyone else out there runs into the same issue: Solved by switching to DNS 208.67.222.222, which I read somewhere is the OpenDNS server. Everything had worked fine with the previous DNS... very odd.
