Yeah, that seems different. Unless someone else chimes in with a new idea, I would suggest to contact an expert from the Apple Support staff for further assistance. Contact Apple for support and service (phone numbers) or start your support request online (chat/​email/​callback).

The Apple TV background may show a heavily blurred and low contrast variant of the screen saver frame last seen, to have it be with a hint of color and more interesting than a flat gray background. Like the screen saver is a (static) thing in the background, without the sharpness to distract. That can be disabled if you want (Settings﹥Accessibility﹥Display﹥Reduce Transparency﹥On|Off).


It will be different each time, when a screen saver has been running.
