Periodically (8:58 or 8:59) - iTunes is currently unavailable. Try again later

I just purchased the 3rd Season of "Justified" which is a great show and I'm happy to not have to watch commercials, but.

FACTS

1) I watched 9 minutes it just stops and goes to a black screen ""iTunes is currently unavailable. Try again later". okay

2) Resume - and I get more time, maybe 9 minutes before it dies. I didn't get a perfect time because I was into the show.

3) Sigh and resume and get 9 or 10 more minutes.

4) Went to another show and it also died

5) Cached Far ahead - Strange, but the show was already cached far, far ahead of the crash.

6) AppleTV is fully updated to 4.4.4 I think

7) I did a restore and reproduced the problem

8) I did a reset and reproduced the problem... crashes at 8:58 or 8:59 each time

PROBLEM 2 - maybe related.

I get some Netflix freezes as well, but i have a great connection. When I use my Roku, or my Macbook Pro to watch the same shows that freeze everything works. but the AppleTV cannot operate without crashing.
