Netflix constantly disappears from the menu of my ATV. For it to reappear I have to unplug it, wait a few seconds, then plug it back in. Why? It's an extremely frustrating bug.
Anyone have any fixes? Firmware is current and it's not jailbroken.

I had the same problem last night, until I realized there was a software update for the ATV2 as it didn't prompt me on its own. Once I ran the update, Netflix worked like a champ.

If you don't want to get up from the couch to unplug, just reset the ATV.
I do it every day.

Press and hold Menu and Down (buttons 3 and 4 below) on your aluminum Apple Remote for six seconds and then release when you see the LED light on the Apple TV flash rapidly.
