I have a 2nd gen Apple TV that was working fine until a week ago. Now whatever I play, Netflix, Hulu, purchased items through iTunes, it all stops after playing for a few seconds and goes back to the description screen.
I have tried restarting the Apple TV, restarting my modem, switching from wifi to wired ethernet, checking for updates, nothing has helped. Any ideas before I toss it and buy a new one?
Thanks,
Christine

Test it in another location to eliminate your network as a location, if the problem persists...
Try the following steps for the Apple TV 2 & 3, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Well, I got stuck on step #4. My AppleTV remote has been broken, (it will work for a second after replacing the battery, then will fail) so I had programmed a universal remote to run the AppleTV. Doing the reset wiped this, so I cannot control the AppleTV anymore.
Tried using the AppleTV Remote app on my iphone, but to pair it, it wants me to enter a code on the AppleTV, which I can't do of course, because no remote! Now I am really stuck.
You'll need to borrow or purchase a remote to proceed.
Step #4 resolved this issue after purchasing a new remote. Thanks.
