If the status light is flashing continuously, then that would indicate a failure to start up properly.

  1. First try a cold restart, by disconnecting from power for a minute or two.
  2. If that doesn’t bring it back, then it may be needed to re-install the system software through a computer. Restore your Apple TV - Apple Support
