Apple TV intermittently goes to black screen.

Whether watching a movie or baseball on MLB through the Apple TV, I loose the picture. Just goes to a black screen. It may last 1 minute or 30 minutes. Then the picture comes back on for a short period of time before doing it again. No other problems with anything on the TV itself.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.7

Apple phone technician solved my problem. Even though I have it to automatically update my Apple TV s/w, it hadn't for quite a while. When trying to download it was having trouble. Tech recommended restarting the network and after that the update installed and everything is working great.
