Has anyone had any luck with this combination before I waste another 2 hours of my life.

I've tried to pair them but end up with an error message after I stick in the password.

Any help massively appreciated!

Although the wireless on the ATV works well, you might want to get a couple of powerplugs and connect the it to the network via cat 5 cable - you'll get much better data transfer rate anyway.

Not really an option as its needed as a wireless solution.

going to be really dumb here but you have pressed the 1/2 button on the back of the live box to allow pairing ?

Yep, tried that - works with two iPhones and an iPad so it's not an generic Apple incompatibility issue I don't think.

Comes up with 3905 on the TV just after sticking in the password. This is driving me crackers.

suggests changing the wireless channel and also to switch off mac filtering and see if that helps

Nah; nothing to do with mac filtering or anything. Phone call to a nice chap in India and all is sorted. Hard reset of the router solved all problems. The biggest issue then was inputting the 26 digit security code into all the different gizmos.
