I'm now on 5.1 but Apple TV when tries to connect to iTunes says "unable to sign in. Apple tv can't connect to the server at this time. Please try again later."
I'm in Australia with the latest Apple TV, using wireless from my Telstra router that has had till now no issues using. Seems to have only happened since updated to 5.1.
Help please.
AppleTV 2, Software 5.1
I was experiencing this same problem - getting time outs when my Apple TV was trying to access the iTunes Store from an Australian internet connection (not Telstra). I was going to post a "me too" response, but I was able to resolve it by pulling the power on the Apple TV and performing a cold boot. When it booted up it presented me with a What's New screen which I hadn't seen since the last software update, and let me connect to iTunes Match and the store again.
Give that a try and see if that fixes it for you.

Thanks!!! This solved my problem. I tried to connect to the LAN direct, same problem. Tried disconnecting it for few minutes, no solution. Even tried a reset (by holding down the play button) and still no luck. Who would have thought a cold restart would be the cure. Thank You.
