AppleTV 3 Screen Flicker?

Select the resolution to a lower frequency refrsh. Eg if it is at 1080i 60hz put it back to 1080i 50hz from audio video settings in apple TV. That fixed the issue for me. Inwas almost about to get a new TV before I decided to try tgis tweak and it worked for me. I had a hunch as it was only when I was streaming via airplay and playing content via apple TV so decided to give one last try and it worked and I am sure it will work for all others. It is just a refresh rate compatibility issue with the TV. Hope this helps.

This is certainly not normal - AppleTV is however very fussy about HDMI connections and incompatibilities do crop up with some sets.

That said, I would expect an incompatibility to manifest from the start not 10 minutes into playing and consequently think this may be a faulty AppleTV, overheating for example.

Personally I would get the AppleTV exchanged if it is new - it would be handy to test on another TV to see if the same problem arises.

That's a shame. It does sound like an HDMI glitch on that set.

There are a few different HDMI settings you can manuall set (RGB Hi/Low etc) in the Settings menus and Auto - no harm trying a few.

I recommend you send feedback to Apple techs using this link noting TV model etc:

They won't reply but may be able to tweak things for the future.

I have the same problem. Ten minutes or so into any session - iTunes streaming, Netflix, HBO Go, local movies from my iTunes Library, even the screen saver.

Have tried switching Apple TV video setting from Auto to RGB High setting and no change.

OK, the solution was to give Apple feedback? That fixed the issue?

I have a Roku, no issues, I have a Google Chromecast, no issues, I have an Apple TV, I have issues.

Feedback? Does that ix it?
