While using a streaming service, my TV has black vertical lines pop and the TV resets to the "Smart TV" screen.

Currently using a Samsung 55" Smart TV with XFinity internet.  

I've powercycled both the TV and the router with no joy.

Please help.

I'd also like to suggest that you update your Samsung Televisions Applications. Also check for a Firmware Update. If a new Firmware Update is available for your model. Your Samsung Television will notify you onscreen that "A New Update is Available"

You can also try resetting the "Network Settings" on your Samsung Television as well. If these suggestions don't resolve your issue. You can continue with the steps below and try assigning a "Static IP" Address to your Samsung Television.

1. Manually assign an IP address to your Samsung TV
2. Manually Assign you DNS Server to 8.8.8.8

If you are still having issues with your Samsung Television. I'd like to make a few more suggestions to a assist you.

1. Replace your HDMI Cable
2. Change the HDMI Input from your XFINITY Steaming Box to another HDMI Input to your Samsung Television

Can you replicate the issue with another input device connected to your Samsung Television? Do the black lines continue to appear with the other device?

Do you have another Television in your home to test your XFINITY Box?

Also you can make sure that Input Signal Plus is enabled on your Samsung Television.

On your Samsung Television:

1. Press the "Settings" Button
2. Scroll down to the "General Tab"
3. Press the "OK / Enter" Button
4. Scroll down to "External Device Manager"
5. Press the "OK / Enter" Button
6. Scroll down to "Input Signal Plus"

For the sake of being thorough please ensure that ALL of your HDMI Ports have the "Green Circle" on all of your HDMI ports Green. Tab over to "Close" exit.
