Apple TV Could not connect to the server

My ATV2 is telling me it cannot connect to the server!
What server? It seems to connect fine to my computer's iTunes and it also plays previews of movies and tv shows from the rental store fine. So why cant it actually start downloading a rental?
It's pretty sad that there's no help or further details on the ATV2. It just says try again.
I hope Apple doesn't start screwing up the iTunes server for ATV2 the way they are always screwing up access to their MobileMe servers.

Apple TV (2nd gen), iOS 4

I have exactly the same problem. It started two days ago once I started to stream a movie. It deleted the movie, even though I had another 46 hours to watch it, and has stopped me renting anything else. I tried connections etc and even a network test but to no avail. I'm all out of ideas, bar visiting an apple store.
