I recently did an update on my Apple TV and now I'm having a problem purchasing a movie. I can view iTunes movie selection through my Apple tv but when I click on a movie, it goes right back to movie selection screen. I can't even view the trailer.
iTunes on my iMac is not the problem because I am able to view trailers and purchase from the computer.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Apple TV: Unable to access Movies, TV Shows, or other iTunes features after updating
I'm running 5.2.1 - I believe that's the update that messed it up because it was OK before.
I have the same problem. Everything was working fine with 5.2. I updated to 5.2.1. and now streaming is so slow that it is impossible to stream music or movies. I did a "reset" on the Apple TV and the newest software is than downloaded also. It took 5 hours to download the software. So it seams that software 5.2.1. has problems with WiFi routers. And I found out that also my computer gets very slow with mail and internet. Something is happening between Apple TV - WiFi router and computer.
Did you already find a solutions?

You're the first person to respond who seems to have had problems after updating to 5.2.1. I'm still waiting for suggestions/solutions.
I am having the same issue. Running 5.2.1. I tried signing in again. Apple tv just says "Apple TV can't connect to the server at this time. Please try later."
There is also another discussion on the forum with the same issues. The problem is, nobody seems to have a solution. And I get realy frustrated because everything was working fine and now I am not able to use ATV at all. Another problem is that it is almost impossible to perform a "downgrade". (It is possible, but you have to spend a lot of money).

Keep the discussion going and perhaps someone will have the answer. I've never heard of anyone reversing an upgrade - usually there's another upgrade that fixes the problem.
