Flickering using Apple TV App on LG TV

Watching Slow Horses, it auto loads next episode 2 and the whole screen starts flickering heavily. Quit Apple TV go to Netflix, nothing wrong with TV.


Go back to Apple TV and start episode 2 manually and no flickering. Get to end of ep 2 and it starts playing ep 3 and ... flickering. Leave Slow Horses and play 5 seconds of some random Apple TV show, start playing ep 3 and no flickering...


What is going on? Not a LG 50" smart TV problem. An Apple problem, as per usual....

Thanks for reaching out Bardonicloud,


It sounds like you're having some quality issues when playing shows. We can help.


A great place to start is with these steps If you can't watch or stream movies and TV shows in the Apple TV app:



If the video quality is bad or it stops playing

1. If multiple people on your network are using the internet, your connection speed might slow down. Ask them to temporarily pause their internet activities.
2. If you're using a smart TV or streaming device, turn it off and back on again. If you're using an Apple device, restart it.
3. Tap or click the download button to try downloading the movie or TV show instead.*

* You can't download movies or TV shows to Apple TV, smart TVs, or streaming devices. You can download HDR content only to certain iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch models. You can't download 4K video content to any device.


Still need help?
- If you still can't play movies or TV shows, you can go to reportaproblem.apple.com and request a refund.
- If you can't stream movies or TV shows in apps that you downloaded from the App Store, you can contact the app developer.


Hope that helps.


Take care.
