Hi Donna, The only problem we have ever had with our AppleTV has been with Netflix. When we encountered our latest Netflix issue, we were receiving an error message indicating that Netflix was currently unavailable, and to please try again later. So I googled the problem, and many posts on this particular issue recommended power cycling the AppleTV, which I did, numerous times. However, power cycling made no difference, other than making me re-enter my login information for Netflix. Well, I suppose we got a different error at that point, so it did make some difference. :-) So my husband did some more googling, and what he found was very simple. It was recommended to back out of Netflix upon receiving the error, don't do anything else, then going straight back into Netflix. Um, believe it or not, this worked. After three days of no Netflix access, it worked. Not sure if it will work in your case, as this issue seems to be slightly different for different folks, but it's probably worth a try. As soon as you receive the error message, back out to the Main menu and go straight back into Netflix. Good luck to you, and I hope you get it working soon!
