AppleTV goes dark and flashes…

Hi,


My AppleTV will sometimes go dark and then flash a bright white light followed by the actual screen with weird colors for a brief moment every few seconds or so. The only fix is to power off the device.


Why is this happening and how can I fix the issue for good?


Thank you!

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 18
