Everything was working fine for months, then today all of a sudden my Apple TV starts behaving very strangely.
The ATV 2G boots up normally, gets to the main apple interface, then immediately the screen flashes black for about 10 seconds and then returns to the main apple UI. The white light on the apple tv blinks once during this ongoing problem. It has been doing it constantly since the issue started.
The only thing I did prior to this problem occuring is I unplugged the apple tv (while it was on) and replugged it into another outlet.
Anyone have any clue what this is? I'm thinking I'll have to rejailbreak, but I'd rather not if I don't have to.
Update: One other thing I can mention is that when I removed the LAN cable, the rebooting stopped. But as soon as I put the LAN back in the reboot/flash would occur. I even tried wifi, but that had the same issue. I decided to restore back to 4.4.4 and am in the process of transferring back my XBMC backup.
The interesting this is that I had a friend mention that he was seeing this same thing. I thought he was nuts, but then it happened to me. Maybe 11.0-3 could have caused it?
