Apple TV flickering

My Apple TV flickers to black somedays more than others. A few occasions has turned off. I have changed the HDMI and I have done the factory reset. Still have the same issue. This seems to happen most on YouTube and Netflix. It's very recent that its been doing this - the last two months. Purchased in Sept. Any help would be appreciated.

That is a classic symptom of the device not having an adequate network connection where the Apple TV is located. If you are using Wi-Fi please first try the following to see if it helps:


  1. Unplug your modem from its power source for 2-3 minutes and Restart Modem.
  2. Unplug your router from its power source for 2-3 minutes and Restart router.
  3. Unplug Apple TV from Power for 2-3 minutes – re-plug in and retest.
