Apple TV app problem loading content error

How do I fix this error message on appletv? Internet is fine. Restarted appletv (with unplugging) multiple times. Movie rental simply stopped playing after 1 hour.

This is more than a simple connectivity issue. It is localized to Apple and iTunes. My DNS resolves just fine everywhere and I have both a WiFi and Ethernet(Gig) connected AppleTV. I can access all other content HBO Now, Netflix etc. I was half way through my movie when it cut out. If I had to guess it cutoff while trying to validate/authenticate the content against my purchase entitlement. If I had to guess...

I’m embarrassed to tell you what my problem was. Where I live there is a guest Wi-Fi network. Somehow my iMac had been changed to the guest network. The clue was that I could not print on either of my printers. As soon as I put it on the right Wi-Fi both Apple TVS and both printers started working.


I have another problem. One movie refuses to be loaded into iTunes, using either drag and drop or File -> Add to Library menu command to load the movie into the library.
