The Apple TV requires some ports to be open to be able to sync and activate with the Apple Servers. If the ports are not configured properly, you might receive errors.
Apple’s Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries. Additionally port 123 (TCP/UDP) has to be open to set the time automatically.
