Tried resetting Modem and Router, still no luck.

After reading multiple other posts, I tried resetting Apple tv to factory settings and that helped with the flickering.

Till now after 5 hours of viewing, didn't faced the flickering yet.

You might have a weak Internet connection where the Apple TV box is located. Please do the following:


  • Unplug your modem from it's power source for 2-3 minutes and then reboot it.
  • Unplug your router from it's power source for 2-3 minutes and then reboot it.
  • Unplug your Apple TV from it's power source for 2-3 minutes and then reboot it and retest
