Hard to say; I'd wager it's a communication issue (if you've had problems with the HDMI before then that's definitely what I'd suspect). It wouldn't likely be an issue if HDMI didn't have a form of DRM built into the hardware. It's just an educated guess but with audio working/video NOT working I'd bet a week's pay that for some reason the HDMI isn't confirming that the connection is a 'secure' one. The easiest way to test this is to try it on another TV. Just borrow a friend's TV set for a couple minutes; if you can push video from your iOS device to the Apple TV you know your TV is at fault, if you get the same error it's the Apple TV.
