Apple TV 4K Netflix No Video

Apple TV 4k, Netflix: Audio only, no Video. restored ATV to factory, reinstalled NF app, cable is compliant, AVR settings and TV settings ok as no issue in other apps. Worked fine until today. OS 11.1. everything has been reset, reinstalled, rebooted, and reconnected. Any ideas? NF works fine through the app on the TV as well as the app on the cable box.

I found a fix to this issue and I believe it has to the due with the refresh rate. I changed the option to match the content refresh rate and now everything works! It seems like my TV is able to do this but when the Apple TV tries to force the content to a certain refresh rate that is when it gets into issues!


I hope this will help a lot of people. I noticed that with certain programming such as Netflix or Hulu they have a different refresh rate. Most TVs either display it at the native refresh rate or they upscale it by interlacing or other creative fashions to add in the additional frames. However I do not know if the Apple TV has that ability! Anyways most TVs should be able to perform a refresh rate from 60Hz and down and most content is less than that.


Cheers!
