Hello Johnszo,


To help us better assist you, can you let us know more about the issue you're experiencing? For example, are the audio and video playing at different rates, or something else? Is this happening with all content, or only certain content? Do you receive any errors when this happens?


The above details will help us get a better understanding of the issue.


If you're unable to play movies and TV shows in the Apple TV app as expected, please check out this link, which may help correct some issues: If you can't watch or stream movies and TV shows in the Apple TV app


If the video quality is bad or it stops playing

1. If multiple people on your network are using the internet, your connection speed might slow down. Ask them to temporarily pause their internet activities.
2. If you're using a smart TV or streaming device, turn it off and back on again. If you're using an Apple device, restart it.
3. Tap or click the download button to try downloading the movie or TV show instead.*
* You can't download movies or TV shows to Apple TV, smart TVs, or streaming devices. You can download HDR content only to certain iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch models. You can't download 4K video content to any device.


Thanks!

Every time I change channels no matter what platform, YouTube tv, Pluto, etc., There is a delay of a picture and sound with a black screen for about 2 seconds.

I did a Google search and the work around was to reduce to 4 k sdr versus 4 k hdr 60 hz (I believe)? But the picture isn't as sharp. The person sending this information said it's an Apple tv + problem and Apple needs to correct this. Please advise.
