The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this atwww.speedtest.net.

1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

Did you try to lift it from the desk where it sits? I do have the same issue. I have 10,5 mbps and movies keep shutting off when I watch them. When I lift the Apple TV from where it sits, the interface comes back again. It seems to be a recurring issue with Apple Tv.

So moving it causes issues? That is likely due to interference depending on the location of the device
