So I own a second gen 4K Apple TV had it for about 2 years or so.

And recently over the last few weeks I have noticed while watching content no matter the app that I’m using from the Apple TV that during playback the content momentarily turns to like a black screen as I’m already watching the content.

This issue is never happened before. I’m thinking that maybe it is due to the firmware that got updated?

I have restarted the Apple TV I have unplugged it I have unplugged all of my components through the HDMI I have unplugged all my components from the wall I have changed the HDMI cables All of the HDMI cables are 2.1 I have changed the inputs but I still get this black screen ever so often.

I know it is not my TV or my soundbar as typically if there was an issue with that the TV would show me no input found or the sound bar the audio would change on the soundbar and I’m able to get a good idea if it is one of those components acting up. But I have noticed that it’s only through the Apple TV and it’s not as if the content that I’m watching stop so like the constant is still there but the screen turns to black as we’re watching.

Yes I do have Earc turned on, Yes I do have HDMI 2.1 cables, Yes I do have match screen content and frame rate turned on, no there is nothing wrong with my internet.

Has anyone experienced this issue lately?
