Q: HDMI Handshake problems every 20 - 30 minutes - Color Inversion Issue

HI! got the same problem with a brand new Sony Bravia HD TV... Apple TV 1 is OK... All devices on my TV are OK, too.... Never see that kind of strange display.

Got the prob with Apple TV 2, only... but see that put ATV in standby and go back on will reset a normal display during 20 to 30 minutes...

VERY disappointing....No Change!
They have had the benefit of the doubt, time for some public slagging.

I was talking to a UK design engineer from Panasonic today, they test thoroughly for this kind of thing, problems like this are sloppy QA. Shame on you Apple.

I am very disappointed,now I sell my Apple Tv and buy a Google TV.Is this the Apple reliability?Ok goodbye

I'm spanish user.

The problem continue in 4.1. Apple don't work for this issue.

What is the new features in this update? I don't know.... but the issue is here..........

@cmay1: You should restart (unplug the power cord) the ATV after the update is done. Afterwards I'm pretty sure it'll connect to your wifi

Well sadly after the update, still NO solution to this problem.

Apple don't seem interested, they have taken our money and the sub-standard product does not work with TVs from at least two major TV manufacturers. They have not given any creditable advice on this problem, despite the fact that they know about it. I got a phone call from a guy at apple when I first reported the problem just after launch. We went through various tests and then he replaced it. He contacted me and e-mailed me several times. After I got the replacement, I waited a couple of weeks and then sent him an update e-mail, advising that the problem was still there. Absolutely no reply since.

Pretty poor customer service. they have launched a sub-standard product that fails to do its job and they appear to have wiped their hands of it.

is there something about home made movies ? I'm playing from about 1 hour with ATV2 with Apple stuff (Pictures, music, etc.) ... All is OK...

Got problems when using Handbrake encoded movies but only after some 20 minutes...

I have just updated my Apple TV.

Still the same problem (green screen with rented content) with TV Sony KDL40W2000, directly connected to Apple TV 2nd generation, or through receiver Cambridge Audio 640R.

New problem when using AirPlay to send videos from a MacBook Pro to the AppleTV : HDCP problem error message with home made movies !!

Home made movies... that's a way...

This happend to me now! it worked perfect with 4.0 but after updating it to 4.1 it started happning to me!!!! ****

The problem has been reported by Engadget so now maybe Apple will do something:

Got the latest firmware. Still problems. **** !

**** I bought a new HDMI switch and fixed the problem with the ViewSonic until I just updated. Arch now it's back to pink. What up Apple?

Here the same

problem is NOT solved. i think now we have to wait until summer, for the next iOS update - or better for the next generation ATV3...

PLEASE write or phone with apple support! otherwise we won't see any solution!

I won't be waiting, I'll be taking it back.

Never had this issue with the original ATV, this is sloppy at best and not what we expect from Apple.
