Apple tv We have Spectrum as our internet provider, a Visio tv and Apple TV to connect the two. Most of the time they all get along and play nicely but lately the Apple tv has been dropping the connection as though the tv is going into sleep mode. If we don't hit the remote the the tv shuts off in the 3 minute interval. This will go on for an hour or more, and on all three tv's we have using an Apple tv box. Trying multiple button pushes will sometimes bring up on screen controls at the top of the screen with labels 'watch' and 'live'. If I am quick enough and move to the 'Live" button, the sleep mode shutoff will not happen for a wile, maybe until the tv is turned off. ANY ideas??

Amazon Prime not working on Apple TV I have an Apple TV model A2169 (64GB) and I have watched Amazon Prime for ever through the Amazon prime app. Now for the last 30 days I keep getting an error : Something went wrong, Please try again later. For more help, go to amazon.com/videohelp. The apps starts to play the video, then it pops up the error message. BUT the program is still playing in the background with sound but i can not get a picture. I have tried every Apple support suggestion. close the app and restart, close the app and power cycle the apple tv, delete the app and reinstall, set the tv back to factory settings. None of these are fixing the problem. What do I do?

What is your model Apple TV? Identify your Apple TV model - Apple Support

When the status light is flashing continuously, then the unit fails to start up properly.

Try a cold restart first (unplug from power).

If the issue persists, it is time for a software restore. Restore your Apple TV - Apple Support
