Apple tv keeps flashing- no matter what I do

Question

my atv keeps giving me network error messages ( both 3905 and 5; it varies back and forth) have tried resetting, restarting, unplugging. plugging into my computer via usb, have reset via computer usb, and nothing is working. It keeps flashing rapidly indicating it's having a problem . I ALREADY KNOW THAT!!!. it will not update , . this is the second time ive had to try and figure this out. nothing i did  the first time helps this time. ANY suggestions besides stomping on this atv? i ahve to say not impressed with  atv. I have i, phones, ipad, macbook, all can pick up the network wifi, but my atv can't ???

HI,
The Apple IDs from @mac.com and @me.com (Older MobileMe and more recent iCloud Names) are also Valid AIM Screen names.
Any other sort of Apple ID is not a Valid AIM Name.
A Google ID that is associated with Google Mail Account (And has "Talk" enable on your Google Settings) can be used in iChat as  Jabber Name/ID.  (Google Run  Jabber server).
Jabber and AIM are different IM Services and it is not easy or straight forward to add Buddies from one Service to the Buddy List of another.  (As A Starting point consider it "impossible")
iChat 4 and 5 have links to the registration page of @Mac.com here with a "Get an iChat Account" button in the add (Account) screen  (You select @mac.com or MobileMe and then press the Button - Choosing AIM and then pressing the button used to lead to the AIM registration page but AIM moved their page).
Apple IDs can be any valid email (or an @mac.com or iCloud registration)
Therefore you could make a Google ID into an Apple ID.
However this will not be a valid AIM Screen Name the way @mac.com or MobileMe/iCloud ones are.
