TV Intermittently blacks out, repeatedly.

[Jim]

No idea what is happening with my TV. I will be watching a show and suddenly the TV will black out for a second, maybe two. Then it will come back on. 30 seconds later, repeat. Then it may run for an hour with no issues. Suddenly, starts all over again.

See video.

Loose or defective cable or HDMI cord; loose AC cord at plug; defective TV.
After checking above, just replace it. TVs, especially FireTV, Roku, or Xumo TVs are dirt cheap!

Yep, not like the old days when my dad would send me down to test the tubes. God I miss that.

A yes and a no. That does not compute!!!

EDIT: I now see, in WHITE, the rest of your response. You ought to check your text settings

Yes, this is what I've been thinking as well.

The issue is that you are stationary. Nothing is making anything move to cause a change. Before I look at hardware I'd look at your stream source. Do you have solid Internet assuming you're streaming? It could even be your Wi-Fi or an internal source issue. You could test this by playing something locally maybe over AirPlay and see if you can reproduce the issue. Or even wired, again, to rule out is this the stream, the source, the wire, or the TV. Finally, make sure all TV's have the latest firmware installed.

I agree to check connections.
What is the source?
If antenna - marginal reception can cause this.

I recently had a similar problem and it was the HDMI port on the TV.
I recommend taking Neal’s advice.
