- You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
- Also try restarting the router.
- If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
- If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
