I've had Apple TV for just over a week and up until today, everything has been fine. My problem is that when I try and watch previously bought films/tv shows, they won't play. It just goes back to the play screen. Also, I cannot buy new films. I've reset it, logged off and back on again but still the same. Can anyone help?

Best Answer
Unless you have an amazing internet pipe, don't bother trying to play purchasef TV, etc, from the TV or Movies icon on ATV.
Download the TV, etc, to your Mac/PC, turn on iTunes Home Sharing on the Mac/PC and on the ATV, choose "Computer" on the ATV, and stream it from the Mac/PC to the ATV.
