Horizontal Lines on Bottom of Screen - AppleTV

Hello Friends,


When I turned on my TV this morning and launched AppleTV, I discovered these horizontal lines on my screen.


I thought it was my Sony TV but after shutting off the AppleTV, I discovered that these lines only appear when I have AppleTV running (and today is the first day that the new AppleTV 4K came out… coincidence?).


Regardless, I’ve never had this issue. The only change I’ve recently done to my AppleTV is utilized the new color balancing feature released in iOS 14.5.


I have an AppleTV 4K (model A1842) and use a Sony hdmi cable to my TV.

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 14

  • Try a cold restart for all devices involved (not sleep/standby, but a real shutdown).
  • Try connecting the Apple TV box to a different TV. That should tell if the issue is with the Apple TV or with the HDMI circuitry in the TV.
