Apple TV 4K screen goes blank while watching.

After 30-40 minutes, the screen goes blank and I either get “snow”, flashes of the image that was showing, or simply nothing. Rebooting helps for about 5 minutes, then it happens again. Happens while watching Netflix, Prime, or Apple TV. It has become very frustrating and almost unwatchable.

Please try resetting the HDMI connection by disconnecting the cable on both ends, then reconnect. A cold restart of all HDMI devices would have the same effect.

Else try Reset Video Settings from Settings﹥Video and Audio﹥, for best guess video settings based on the currently connected screen.
