apple tv gen 3 screensaver video issue

I have an LG G4 77 inch TV. I am using a 4K transmitter that outputs 1080p to the TV receiver. Everything works correctly except for the screensaver videos. They show the odd banding in the picture attached. I have a 1842 model Apple TV. What can I do to fix this?

I am using a 4K transmitter that outputs 1080p to the TV receiver.

Is this referring to the Apple TV box? Why would you output in 1080p, when you can get 4K (2160p)? If that line is not about the Apple TV box, then please elaborate.

Is this referring to the Apple TV Aerial screen savers? If so, I’m not recognizing the shown one. If not, then what source is that?

It is a 4K transmitter all receivers so far output 1080p…
  1. So your Apple TV box is not connected to the TV directly? Why not?
  2. Please tell me about that transmitter. Do you have a link?


It seems like something in the video path is corrupting the video, like not being processed fast enough, giving the shown artifacts. Could this transmitter be the cause?
