Stuck on "activating date and time"...no Apple Support Community "tips" work. Help me.

I have tried all the "tips" on this forum to no avail. I am stuck with my Apple TV on "activating date and time" without end. I have Restarted it, Restored it, hooked it directly to my known-to-be-working moden with an ethercable, I have pressed (on the remote) the Menu and 'back' buttons simultaneously, I have pressed the Menu and 'down' buttons simultaneously, all for 6+ seconds. There are no "broken" chains or "complete" chains in view. Does anyone 'out there' have any productive, step-by-step intsructions???

Being unable to set date and time is a problem most likely caused by being unable to connect to the time server over the internet, it is unlikely to be an issue with the Apple TV. You should probably be looking at your router settings etc, have you tried restarting the router.
