Apple TV disconnecting from tv

Hello, when turning my Apple TV gen 4 on it will automatically connect through HDMI to the tv. After maybe 2 seconds it will disconnect like it can not find the input and my tv screen will go back to connect a device. This will happen like 4 times before it finally will connect and stay on the Apple TV and is usable. I have gone through every setting I can think of, changed HDMI cables and it still does it. I’m stumped.

Apple TV HD, tvOS 13

Does this happen with HDMI-CEC both on and off?

Control your TV or receiver with your Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote - Apple Support


If HDMI-CEC doesn’t add ease of use, then perhaps keep it turned off.
