Timeline shows when antenna signal breaks up?

Channels Apple TV

Recently, whenever my antenna signal is interrupted and the picture freezes/pixelates, the timeline along the bottom now pops up briefly too. This was not happening before and it's very distracting, especially when it's just a small blip that would otherwise go mostly unnoticed.

Was this something added in a recent update and is there a way to turn it off? I'm using an Apple TV 4k 2021 and the paid channels app.

Thanks

Could you submit diagnostics from the app under Settings next time it happens

I too have noticed this lately. In my case it’s when I’m watching live TV on the “bleeding edge” (tiny buffer) and there’s a slight network hiccup so I get a micro-pause. In the past this didn’t cause the timeline to appear but it does now.

Thanks just submitted a report. It's really windy here today so it's happening frequently.

I too am having the same problem with Channels on my Apple TV 4K.
