Picture upside down

My kids turned off the AppleTV last night before bed and when we turned it back on the whole picture was upside down. We’ve combed through every setting and cannot figure out how to revert it to right side up. We’ve even tried restarting and resetting it.

Apple TV HD, tvOS 14

Double / shadow view of writing and icons on Apple TV Please help, my three year old got hold of the Apple TV remote and before I could stop him, he managed to change the settings. Now I can’t see what is written as there seems to be double writing or icons, almost like a shadow. How can I turn this off? I have reset, restated and unplugged everything already. Please help!

Screensaver flashing In the last month or so I have noticed that when the screensaver comes on it will flash a partial and discolored version of the screen behind it. So when watching a movie and paused long enough the screensaver would come on and the paused movie still will flash repeatedly until the screensaver is turned off. I have checked for updates, I have repeatedly restarted the AppleTV both through the menu options and unplugging it, and am unsure what else I can do to fix this. It seems to flash from the normal screensaver to the distorted combined screen approx every 30 seconds

during movies my AppleTV will shut down. What can I do to fix that? Every once in awhile, especially during longer movies, my appleTV will revert to the Home Screen. I am using version 4. How do I correct that?

This is an odd problem. Try disconnecting the HDMI and reconnecting it.

If this fails to solve issue look into your TV's settings, not to be confused with you Apple TV.

Is the picture right side up for any non-Apple TV content? (Internal tuner, DVD player, etc.)

If not, then the cause and fix may be in the TV itself, and unrelated to Apple TV.

What is your model TV?
