Make sure you don't have more than 6 different devices registered to your netflix account.
 
I don't have more than six. Is there something i'm supposed to do on netflixes site? When I set up my dvd player i had to get a code. I can't get that far on the apple tv.

It is best to call Nexflix. In certain setups it takes some time, reboot or restall the netflix soft ware ( if there is one). I just checed the website , u can put the error and maybe this will help. If not I replace that apple tv hardware. Dan
