Apple TV is pixelated

Using the Apple TV app on my smart tv and every time we use it, it’s pixelated the entire time. Yea we’ve tried everything from restarting to deleting. Paying for it so kinda ****** it’s not working. Hasn’t worked since we got it.

Apple TV is pixelated: I uninstalled the app and re-installed, but it did not help. Then I went into settings and changed the video setting to SD only. It worked and the picture still looks good.

My Apple TV is also pixelating. I am not sure for how long since I have not watched Apply tv for 6 months or more and am just now trying to watch Ted Lasso but cannot. Has Apple responded to this issue at all?

Pixelation

Can you provide a photo of what you are seeing on your screen? That would most certainly help.

Talking to a a vacuum it would seem - meanwhile we are all paying for a service that we cannot use, come on Apple - this is meant to be a support community - with NO SUPPORT - can you respond please ?

Apple support said there’s a lot of complaints about this with SONY TVs but couldn’t explain why.[…]

Sony and Privacy is the Culprit:

It probably has to do with Sony’s concern for Piracy. If you try to play a burnt Music CD or a burnt DVD disk, their players typically just won’t play it. Sony has been that way for decades. A bit arrogant, if you ask me. There’s no burning taking part, but it’s how their devices operate.
