Can anyone access the 3 Disney Channels on Apple TV?

All were working fine not 2 days ago, now none work on any of my 3 Apple TV's. Just get an "Accessing Disney (Junior, XD, Channel)" and a pinwheel of death that goes no where. I updated the software on a couple days ago when prompted. Perhaps that is messing things up? I even reset one of my devices to facotry settings (ugh!) and still doesn't work. Every other channel works, except for the Disney's. I double checked to see if they dropped my provider and they haven't. I can access them on my macbook air, just not Apple TV.


I have 3 year old twins who need their Jake and the Neverland Pirates!

MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

The app won't even load for any of us. As soon as you click on the Disney icon it says accessing the disney channel and the little spinning loading icon just keeps spinning for hours.

Yes this is the case for me also.


Just before this issue though, I would get an error message when trying to play any Disney content. I would then need to log out and then back in to the Disney App and then re-activate the account before every use.

Update


I finally got Disney to load. The issue for me was the constant "Accessing Disney Channel".


1) Full Restore of Apple TV - Did not help


2) Unplugged both Power and HDMI cable from Apple TV and waited 30 seconds.


3) Plugged cables back in / Selected Disney Channel / re-activated / Works


Have not tested long enough to see if it will continue to work or if the 400-1 error will return.
