ok, i think I have fixed it (or at least a work around)...here are the steps:

1. On the (white) remote that came with your Apple TV, Hold "Menu" and the "-" 
for 6 seconds untils the light on the front of the device changes and the 
device resets.

2. the machine should start again in a few seconds, you will then be prompted 
to select which language you want.

3. after you have selected which language you want, another screen will apear 
asking if you want to "reset", "run diagnostics", or "restore factory 
settings". I selected "restore factory settings"

4. After this it asked me to join a wireless network and I had to reconfigure 
it to join my itunes, then I was back at the menu.

Let me know if this works for you as well?

Cheers
Wade
