Apple 4KTV glitching

My Apple 4K TV (original) has started glitching lately, doing either this scrambled gray look or cutting to black for a second or two. It happens every 5 mi utes or so, no matter what App I am using. I have restarted and made sure I am using the latest release). Has anyone else ever been having this issue?
