Let me first say I am not trying to whine, however I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar problems. When streaming a movie, it kicks you back to the Apple TV menu every 10 to 15 minutes. I've tried to watch Transformers and this has already occurred twice in 30 minutes. These are movies that I own already and stream from my computer. I have never had these problems before. Could it be 10.5.2 or the new update?
 
Internet is too busy due to all the apple updates this week. :)

That shouldn't affect my Apple TV, streamed over my local network and connected through an ethernet cable. Technically, I am not even using the internet, only my local network. I have an Airport Extreme, the newest version.

you are playing faster thanthe movie is downloading.

I downloaded the simpsons movie and came back to the aTV a few hours later. It played like a DVD
 
I believe I found the issue. If I have iTunes open on 2 computers, it seems to confuse Apple TV. It will kick me out of the iTunes I am streaming from into the iTunes I sync from. Luckily, I stream from my desktop and sync from my laptop, which barely ever has iTunes open.
