Apple TV 4K video static/snow after app switch

When switching shows in many apps (google TV, prime, etc) i will lose the video. Audio remains but the video turns to snow or static. Often you can’t back out and power on / off is the answer. Tv 4K running 26.3


Apple TV 4K, tvOS 26

are you sure you need to power it off?


if an app misbehaves for me then I can usually fix it by force-closing the app and then start it again
