Apple TV does not display on TV at first

Hello All

About three months I bought a refurbished Apple TV from Apple.

Since I have had it, when I switch to my HDMI1 input on my LG TV, the Apple TV will not display anything and the TV simply displays 'No Signal'.

It doesn't matter whether the Apple TV is switched on or in standby mode and I turn it on.

The only way I can seem to get it to work is to randomly press buttons on the aTV menu until eventually it wakes up, (when I am pressing the buttons on the remote they are registering as the white light flashes).

I have tried the aTV in different HDMI ports and I get the same results. The only thing I haven't tried is a different HDMI lead.

Does anybody else have this problem, or does anybody think this is a fault.

Thanks for reading

You should definitively try another HDMI cable.

I had that exact problem (albeit with a 360, not an Apple TV). Desperately switching HDMI ports, turning on/off or reconnecting the HDMI cable didn't make any difference. Using another HDMI cable solved everything right away.

Worth a shot at least.

Thanks will give that a try.

Just a problem with HDMI, and certain HDMI cables are different versions.

I just switched to component to avoid paying £50 for a bloody cable.

LOL, a man after my own heart

TBF, the cable I am using is a £10 Argos special!!
