Apple TV 3: TV Shows icon missing

Hello, as I was looking at the home screen of my Apple TV 3 (with latest software, 5.1.1 (5433)) the TV Shows icon disappeared. This happened just a few moments ago.


I now only have Movies, Music, Computers and Settings on the top row of icons.


I live in the UK and I am using an iTunes UK account.


I have tried restarting the Apple TV, and signing out and back in to my iTunes account but neither action has fixed the problem.


Any suggestions?

Apple TV, iOS 5.1.1

Is it possible any of you rented a movie within the last 48 hours?


I rented a movie for the first time ever yesterday then an hour or 2 ago when I went into movies it only showed that rental.


I rebooted then it showed the rest of my movies but still no TV shows.


Wonder if the rental I did has anything to do with the issue at the moment.

Ok, I happened to be passing an Apple store a few minutes ago and popped in to ask if they knew what could cause this problem. In short they didn't, but there was an ATV3 in the store and we took a quick look at it. The TV Shows icon was missing from theirs, however, as we fiddled it came back.


We didn't do anything fancy, so it seems to be a local, short lived, and intermittent problem.
