hi,

I have rented my first movie via apple movies. When i try to watch it i get a DHCP problem. I tried with 3 different hdmi cables and 3 different hdmi ports from tv also restarting appletv but the problem still occurs? Does anyone knows how to fix this issue? Ty,
 
How old is your TV? Have you connected a Blu-ray player as well and does that work (Blu-ray requies HDCP too)? Some early TVs with HDMI ports didn't have HDCP support.

You can also try using a different cable; while all HDMI cables have the necessary connectivity for HDCP, a bad cable can produce enough transmission errors to throw off HDCP. But since you already have tried several, it seems unlikely that this is the problem.
 
A DHCP problem or an HDCP problem? One's related to the network connection, and the other to the TV connection.
 
Actually i have a bluray player that i can play and view blueray movies. I have tried the hdmi cable of blue ray player and port also.

I have a toshiba regza lcd tv which is like 3-4 yrs old.

Confused... what does an HDMI cable have to do with DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)? Do you mean HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection)? DHCP has to do with getting a valid IP address from your router/internet provider.

EDIT: nevermind... looks like that's been covered.

Well, in that case it seems likely that the Apple TV is the culprit. Is it an ATV 3 or 4? I've had a few sporadic HDCP errors on my new 4, but they went away just by restarting the video. Never had this on any of my 3s.
