tv shows work on computer but not apple tv

Another device working doesn't rule out a network issue

Sorry if I was unclear. I stated I had difficulty, but I was after a few tries able to perform the restore, but it did not fix the problem.

Indeed. But I think I've ruled out everything I can. If you have any suggestions, let me know.

What were the results of the network report? Did you test on another network?

Very strange, I no longer have my 2nd Gen to test and I believe that model is no longer serviced by Apple. If I find or think of something else I will post

I don't think it's anything like that. I would contact iTunes to see what is going on.
