Ok, so I'm not impressed at all with Apple TV and Netflix. I get the "Netflix currently not available" error all the time and it's starting to annoy my entire family. I know for a fact that Netflix is available because we have an internet enabled Vizio TV with Netflix in the other room that works flawlessly. I'll get the error on the Apple TV and not on the Vizio TV. They are both running off of my wifi, I have a strong connection and a good wireless signal, they are both the same distance from my router. The only way to get around it is to hit menu a bunch, back out, go back to the show or movie over and over again until it works. My wife is ready to stop using it all together. Does anyone have any ideas?
Got a tip for us?

Funny, I just got this message for the first time (after more than 6 months with the ATV2), and could not figure it out. Not sure what caused it, but it's been preventing me from watching anything for the past hour.
I can't get Netflix to work on either the AppleTV or the iPad. Very strange. Maybe it is iOS related. 
Looking at their tech support forums, there is a problem with Netflix on ios, Ps3, etc... So best bet is look at the Netflix website or their Facebook page for factual answers...
I get this on occasion as well. It is almost always followed by an e-mail from Netflix issuing a credit for the interruption I had that particular day. Netflix normally works very well for me.
