Hi James
Not enough details
Plug the AppleTV HDMI cable in and connect it to your TV Screen.
Use the TV Screen remote control to select the screen "input" from the HDMI port you plugged in to.
Turn AppleTV on (plug in)
http://www.apple.com/appletv
The details should show on your tv screen if the correct hdmi input is chosen.
Use the tiny aluminum IR (IfraRed) control to enter details & control your AppleTV.
If you have an iPhone / iPad you can get the "Remote" App for free that is easier to use to set up the ATV.
AppleTV will want to connect to your home WiFi (Modem) Box that you get your internet from. You will need to know the WiFi Password to allow connection to home WiFi. This keeps the neighbours from connecting to your wireless internet.
You then Select the Language and enter your AppleID (e.g. email address & password) same as you use for your App Store for iPhone / iPad etc
Once connected to the internet the ATV will show all the streaming services that are available. Also if you have iTunes on your Mac Computer you can set up sharing and display selected photos as a slide presentation when the ATV is in standby.
There are many sites for troubleshooting ATV.. here is one
