My ATV 2 is fully updated, and for a while, it has been showing foreign movie cover art. NOT talking about my local movies, or movies I've purchased in iTunes. When on the home screen, and I have the Movie icon selected, it shows popular movies across the top. But why are they all foreign cover arts??? I'm in the US, I have my location set correctly, yet I can recognize the movie as like Forrest Gump for example, but it doesn't say that at all. What's going on?
Got a tip for us?

Sounds pretty odd. Perhaps your IP address is showing up as a foreign IP address on Apple's servers. I'd say that you might want to re-boot, to see if that fixes it.
EDIT - now that I think about it, here's a question. If you browse the Movie/TV store from within the aTV, do you get US films/shows or foreign ones?
Ok, I fixed this. I had my location set correctly for the time zone as New York. I also had my language set to English. So I checked the store as you suggested and everything was in another language, even the genre headers. So I looked more in Settings and went into iTunes Store. There I found another location setting that was set to Italian. No clue how it got set to that. Once I did that, I suddenly saw my Music icon and TV Shows icon on the home screen. I thought that was odd to that I never saw the new interface after the new software. Now it all works great, and I can actually browse movies and trailers. Thanks!
