Likewise, Gen 2 arrived 5th Jan.
Every second time I use the firestick it just flashes relentlessly. Annoying.

If you are within the return window of returning the Glass, might be worth considering 🤔
There will be Glass users who have no issues with their sets, but it is your TV that matters.
Best of luck... whatever you do.

I phoned yesterday did everything I was told to i put it down to the hdmi being at fault after all the instructions and then today it's exactly the same issue! 😭

Re: TV Screen Glitching (Screen Going On/Off) when using HDMI
This happens to mine, I use my fire stick to watch amazon movies/programmes and when I return to my sky glass screen it flashes black and picture. Remote stops working & I have to turn it off at the wall and back on again.
Sometimes happens when it's heavy rain too 🤦🏼♀️

Is this ever going to be fixed? I reported it on my Gen 1, it does the same on the Gen 2 and air.
