Hello there Disappointed111,



Thanks for posting here on the Apple Support Communities! This is a place where other Apple users can submit questions or respond to others to help lend a hand.


We understand your picture is flicking on and off. Let's take a closer look as we do our best to provide some additional insight.


To get started, what kind of TV are you using? Does the same thing happen if you connect it with a different TV?


Also, are you using any other kinds of display adapters, or are you connected directly with just a single HDMI cable? Does the same happen with another HDMI cable or while connected to another HDMI port on the same TV?


You'll also want to make sure your TV is set up with the proper matching resolution as well: Set up your Apple TV



We hope this helps get you pointed in the right direction.


Take care.
