Playing Radio Stations

Question

When playing Radio Stations on ATV, the music will play for a while, 10 to 20 minutes, and then the ATV freezes and the music stops playing. At this point the ATV is completely frozen up. In a few more minutes, ATV will reboot and everything is fine, once again.
Are there any settings in my Airport Extreme Base Station that can be set differently to keep this from happening? Or, is this an issue with ATV?

We know there are genuine issues with this current software version that there haven't generally been before. If this is another one of these issues then no it shouldn't happen, however we shouldn't now be assuming that all problems are of this nature and aren't simply caused by some outside factor that can be corrected.
The issues that we know about I can either recreate by following the same procedure (ie album art) or can't because I don't have the set up to recreate it (ie HDMI) but accept that it exists because of the volume and reliability of the users posting such problems. I have neither heard this issue before nor am able to recreate it, I accept it exists but believe it may be as a result of specific unusual circumstances.
You obviously feel that the tv should be able to tell the user of these exceptional circumstances, whereas I feel its asking a lot, since a normal computer couldn't do that, nor could anything if these exceptional circumstances were just overwhelming the tv and causing it to freeze. You obviously feel that it shouldn't just reboot under such circumstances, whereas I think it's exceptionally good that it does. These are just different opinions.
The OP asked if it might be their network settings, I agree it is unlikely, but I felt it worth mentioning I thought it could be other network issues, the implication of which was that I didn't see any harm in say, trying ethernet, changing the wifi channel etc etc.
The OP hasn't really given much more info, so we haven't had much chance to expand the matter or explore other avenues, we don't know if this occurs for just radio or for all content, all I was trying to do was leave all options open.
In your example of a computer crashing when entering info into a spreadsheet, yes if this happened every time I'd suspect the spreadsheet software, but if the data was being entered over the internet by another user, I'd find it difficult to rule out the internet and continue to blame the spreadsheet application.
I'm not sure how much stuff you have connected to your computer, I have a lot and I generally find that any problems I have are down to outside connections. I can't say I haven't but I'm reasonably confident my computer has never frozen except for the reason of a third party device attached to it.
