I have all my movies and TV shows on an external Harddrive on my MacMini and have the aTV syncing to it (nothing is being copies to the aTV though just streaming it)

I also have the aTV connected to the shared library on my iMac for podcast subscriptions. The issue I am having is when I try to play a podcast from the iMac. I go to shared podcasts and wait for it to connect and show me the list of podcasts ( I hate how it has to connect each time and takes forever) Lately when I first try to connect it will go through trying to connect then the aTV will reboot and go into recovery mode where I can restart, go into diagnostics or reboot factory.

I choose restart then go back to shared podcasts and it loads up fine (after waiting for it to connect of course). My aTV connects to the iMac through my airport extreme 802.11n only network. Now to play a movie or TV show from the MacMini it plays just fine ( I think because the MacMini is always syncing the list of content to the aTV)

Anyone else have this issue or have an idea why the aTV would keep rebooting itself when trying to connect. I have the latest firmware.
