My Apple TV just started doing this. The Ariel screensaver goes for a few minutes and then the screen just fades to black. Worked fine earlier this week the last time I used it.

Mine does the same thing every now and then, the only way I've found to temporally fix it is a soft reset by holding down "menu" and "home" at the same time until the aTV resets. My aTV is set to never sleep so for me at least it's not that, just another apple bug.
 
Looks like doing a restart worked. Didn't realize you could do it holding down menu and home. I like the Apple tv but definitely buggy.
