Apple TV 4K Keeps Cutting Out Apple TV 4K Keeps Cutting Out. It started about 3 weeks ago out of no where. The HDMI cable I purchased is from Apple. I also tried swapping the cable and rebooting my Apple TV a few times. Any suggestions?

Apple TV HD Briefly Drops connection to Receiver while changing programs Since a recent software update my Apple TV HD briefly drops the connection to the receiver whenever it is changing between programs or starting up a program coming out of the screen saver. The TV screen goes black for an instant and the receiver complains it has no signal, but the signal immediately returns and the Apple TV moves on. This does not prevent me from playing what I want. It is just annoying having the screen flash constantly and unnecessarily. Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks.

Either one or more of the HDMI ports is defective, or the HDMI cable has issues.

Try connecting to a different HDMI port.
