ok wanted to see if anyone else having this issue. When I go to the watch ESPN app on the Apple TV and go to channels id just sets there and spins "accessing ESPN." Its been doing it about a week or so now and never shows the channels. I have last years model 3rd gen not the "NEW" one. Thanks for the help.
 
i had that happen on saturday when trying to watch the TCU-Oregon game. I ended up just clicking on the game by pulling up the college football page from the main page. I have not tried it since as have not watched anything on the channel.
 
This happened yesterday on our ATV3 which we have hooked up in the bedroom. I wanted to watch Sportscenter while getting ready to go out for brunch and I got the message "Accessing ESPN." I ultimately restarted the ATV3 and when I went back into the app after restart, the stream worked fine.

Happens occasionally to me and this is my solution. A quick restart may be annoying but it has always worked for me.
