Remote Apple TV 2 Cache Clean

After a couple weeks of Apple TV 2 use, I invariably need to unplug the unit so netflix will work without frequent buffering. i'm assuming the onboard cache needs to be emptied and I'm wondering if there is anyway I can do this remotely? The unit is placed where unplugging it is somewhat of a chore and I'd like to keep it there. I've done some research and I haven't found anything save jailbreaking it. Hopefully, Apple will recognize this as a problem and add a cache clean utility as a menu option.

I found the answer. Hold the down arrow and menu button on your remote until the base unit blinks rapidly, let go and the Apple TV resets. Do this to solve Netflix buffering problems (or simply unplug it.)
