I no longer receive internet radio listings? My Apple TV has internet access, (I can go to NetFlix and YouTube, etc) but when I go to the Internet Radio screen, all I get is a black, blank screen? What happened and what do I do to fix it?
AppleTV 2, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
I have radio on my computer, not the ATV2. On the other discussion threads the problem has been limited to ATV2. The problem seem to have begun about a week ago for most people. Restarting the ATV does resolve the issue, that was the 1st thing I tried repeatly before posting to the forum last week. On thread even has a telecom engineer with the same problem and he concluded the problems on Apple's end.
Here a link to the other discusssion thread
I'm new here but I'm beginning to figure out that rebooting the AppleTV fixes many things. To reboot:
Hold down both Menu and Down on the Apple Remote until the Apple TV
status light blinks rapidly.
If that doesn't solve the problem, the next step is to reset all the settings (yuck). That means you'll have to re-enter your wireless network password, Apple ID and password, Netflix ID and password, YouTube ID and password, etc., etc. Not fun:
Choose General > Reset Settings from the main menu on Apple TV.
Hopefully rebooting is enough to solve the problem.
If you find yourself restarting the Apple TV to fix things you have an underlying problem that you might want to try to resolve. The Apple TV will rarely go wrong without something else causing it to become confused.
I have the same problem. I have 3 latest generation Apple TVs. All have the latest update. Only one is on at a time, yet none lists internet radio stations after the general heading. Hit the "Blues" button and get a black screen that says "Blues". No radio station list appears anyomore on any of my Apple TV's. Everything else works fine. I've tried rebooting, reloading, etc. I've received no answer in these pages that has helped.
I listened to internet radio last week but today 3/3/2012 stations do not load. Message "Loading Internet Radio Stations" with rotating icon never ends and no stations. Tried reboot with no change. YouTube works fine. Internet on all other devices I own works normally. I am out of ideas.
To everyone who is having this problem, does radio work in iTunes on your computer?
Radio is working fine here (near Denver, Colorado) on both the AppleTV (2nd Gen) and iTunes. In fact, I've never had any problem with it. Mysterious.
Hey, Sgt. Pinback. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been trying for two days to get the radios to work on my Apple TV. Then I read your simple explanation--reboot--and it worked! I should have known. I reboot my computer when there are challenges.
I was worried that the jailbroken function might be gone after I rebooted, but no problem. I believe that a reset would erase the jailbreak, right?
I'm an 80-year-old geek, having started with computers (Radio Shack) before a lot of young geeks were born.
However, I want to make a general statement. I really appreciate the unselfish help that people like you provide for people like me who know well how to ask questions on Google.
Thanks again.

Sgt Pinback. The radio works on my computer, which I rebooted a couple of times in th last month. I've also had the radio function come back on sporatically, tried the atv2 at a friends house, and had to reboot the ATV yesterday. Still no radio.
Stan, I made simliar changes to my ATV and restoring the ATV will eliminate those change. The JB is a censored word on the official forums. Regardless glad to hear someone radio is back
According to Apple engineer's acknowledgement of an issue with Apple TV radio, they state that they do not know when it will be resolved. My analysis is that either the latest Apple TV update introduced an unhandled error to the unit (considering the infinite Loading stations message occurring after resetting the unit, and only after choosing a station on the third attempt: nothing happens the first time; the second time takes you to a connection error), or the Apple radio servers were taken out by hackers, and Apple is rebuilding what may be hundreds of blade servers--but not until a security patch is available. This may all sound like malarkey, but I'm convinced it's not isolated to just the bloggers here. I am curious to learn what the radio media providers are doing about this?
the problems been reported to Apple Engineers. Check out this thread for more info.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you tried restarting the Apple TV.
I have the same problem. I have the lastest Apple TV (hocky puck) and old Apple TV. It's not loaading internet radio on either.
I am having the same problem - is there a fix from Apple coming for this, it sounds very common.
Monday 3/5/2012, 2 PM EST. Internet radio is back in Atlanta. I don't know what changed. I didn't do anything to get it to be available.
No Internet Radio?
