Look at the screen, it is telling you exactly what to do.
Connect the device to a computer running iTunes, then restore it.

My apple TV is nowhere near my computer and I conceal power supply wiring. Now I know that I have to take it to my computer from time to time. A message that an update is available would also be nice. It just stopped functioning as I was going to sit down with a hot meal and relax. I skipped that relaxing moment in a hurry. Hopefully future apple TV versions will not have to be thetered to Itunes to update and restore.
