    The channel the tv is set to is irrelevant.

    Switch the tv to the correct input that the ATV is connected to.

    Hi have done that too but the box is not collecting to the channel - checked the hdmi leads and they work fine with the laptop so no problems there - just can't connect atv with tv!

    ATVs do not connect to any computer via HDMI, so that test is irrelevant.

     

    Change the Apple TV resolution:

    • Press and hold the Menu and Up button on your Apple Remote for six seconds.
    • The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals.
    • Press Play on the Apple Remote to keep the current resolution or Select to manually cycle to the next resolution.
