Problem w/the Apple TV Service

[GoHack]

Both last night, and the previous night, I tried to watch some movies on my Apple2 TV. I got the message that the Server is Down, or some such thing, both times. This isn't the first time that this has happened.

What the heck is going on w/this service? On nights w/nothing on, I generally like to go and watch one of my many movies that I have purchased on my Apple2 TV. It should be available any time I want to watch them, but isn't. The same goes w/my music as well.

I've been thinking about upgrading to the new Apple3 TV, but w/this down time issue always popping up, I'm reluctant to do so.

So no answers, or anyone who encountered the same problem?

Oh well.

Is this just happening with iTunes content? Or when it happens, does it affect Netflix, Hulu, trailers, etc?

Thanks for responding.

Itunes, as far as I know, since that's all I use.

Playing around w/it. I tried a Reset, and that seemed to fix the issue, at least for now. This is the first time that I've had to do this, and hopefully, the last.

After watching a movie, the device automatically shuts off, if left alone, and needs to be turned on the next time I wish to use it. I would think that turning it on automatically does a Reset, but I guess not.

It doesn't really shut down, it's more like a sleep mode. It wakes from sleep the next time you use it at the same place you left it.

I'm glad the issue has apparently fixed itself after a restart. It sounded more like an issue with the devices connection than with iTunes itself. Apple has pretty robust servers, I don't see a lot of complaints about them going down.

I own all 3 versions and use each regularly. I've never encountered that issue.
