Apple TV app losing TV signal on Xbox X/S

Im having an issue using the Apple TV app on my Xbox X/S. The problem is about every 30 seconds it drops the signal from the HDMI to the tv. That’s on average, sometimes it will go 2 or 3 minutes without doing it, sometimes it’s every other second. It’s not with any show or anything, it’s if the app is opened whatsoever. Sometimes it quits so hard my TV will go to the “No signal” screen, at which point I haven’t to go to the Xbox home to get it back.


It’s exclusively with the Apple TV app. All other streaming platforms, games and apps work just fine without issue.


I’v heard that logging out and uninstalling then reinstalling the app might fix it. I have tried that and now not only the same issue exist but worse.


I’ll see if I can upload a short video of it happening, I’m not sure if I can or not though, first time on here.

On the Xbox, open Settings > General > TV & display options and temporarily set the resolution to 1080p at 60 Hz. Under Video modes, turn off HDR10 and Dolby Vision for a test, then reopen Apple TV. If the signal stays stable, re-enable those options one at a time to narrow down the HDMI mode causing the dropouts.
