the screen is light blue, no image

That would happen when the TV isn’t yet set to take input from the HDMI port to which the Apple TV box is connected. Please verify your TV settings.

Automatic switching to the newly turned on external device can often be automated through HDMI-CEC, which is a function that can (and should) be activated on both devices:

For the TV: See its manual. The TV brand might have their own trade name for CEC.

For the Apple TV box: Settings﹥Remotes and Devices﹥Control TVs and Receivers﹥On.

I have apple TV connected to my TV

If you have the Apple TV box, then please specify its model:

Identify your Apple TV model - Apple Support

Find your Apple TV model number - Apple Support


Now i see only a blank screen when I go to apple tv.

Verify that your Apple TV box is still well connected to your TV through HDMI, with the plugs firmly seated in the ports. Verify that the TV is set to take input from the HDMI port to which the Apple TV box is connected.


Is the status light on the front of the Apple TV box glowing continuously?
