1. As a longtime AppleTV user... Seems like a hardware problem.

Possibly with the AppleTV or TV... Here's how to troubleshoot (if possible)...

1. Connect your AppleTV to another HDMI port on your TV;
2. Connect your AppleTV to another HDMI TV;
3. Connect another device (computer or laptop) to your TV via the same HDMI port;

It's unlikely the cable since you swapped them out. My guess is a problem with he HDMI signal OUTPUT from the AppleTV or INPUT into your current HDMI port into your TV (OR HDMI input in general to your TV).
