I am not sure what you mean by "Dtv" but I found that having network coverage is key but I still ocassionally have this problem. What I do is turn off Home Sharing on the computer, restart iTunes and then turn Home Sharing back on again. This normally takes care of the problem. On rare occasion I have to additionally restart the Apple TV.
