Same happened to me earlier. Click menu, network and resrtart the device. If not, power cycle the device. It did work for me.

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately "Restart" did not change the situation. I then used the "Restore" option. After about 45 minutes of the unit going through the process, Apple TV was up and running again.
