HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) allows your Apple TV to control other devices connected to your TV. Sometimes, it can cause conflicts. Try disabling CEC on both your Apple TV (Settings > Remotes and Devices > HDMI Control) and your TV. You may need to consult your TV's manual for instructions on disabling CEC.
