    Have you received an answer to this yet?  I have 3 appleTVs - and since a couple of updates ago, they have become super unreliable..... ready to toss them and go back to DVDs.   Hoping you found an answer.

    Had a similar problem. It turned out to be a wifi router issue. I have a dual band Linksys router everything works just fine on the 2.4 Ghz band but, the 5.0 Ghz is a very different story! So, make sure if you have a dual band router that your apple tv and iMac are connected to the 2.4 Ghz band network. At least that worked for me. Good luck!
