Do you have something plugged into the USB port on the back of ATV?
No , nothing , just a hdmi cord & a power cord.
Sounds like the Apple TV is in recovery mode. Try to restore the Apple TV. Follow the appropriate link for your Apple TV for instructions on the restore process.

Restoring did not fix the problem. But it did waste a good portion of my night.
Hi, its Octobber 2015, i have the exact same problem,..did you ever manage to fix it..??..any suggestions..??..
If you are seeing the same message then it means you need to connect your Apple TV to your computer and launch iTunes. Follow the instructions given. If this fails to restore your Apple TV it means it’s broken and will need to be replaced.
I have a flashing light on my apple tv , only thing on the screen is a blue music symbol and some sort of USB cord.
