Amazon Fire TV - flickering screen



I have my new (Oct 2015) Fire TV plugged directly into my television and the screen is constantly flickering/flashing white and sometimes cuts out altogether for a brief second. Clicking something on the remote stops the flickering for about 5-10s before it starts up again.

I've tried replacing the HDMI cable and adjusting the video resolution but the issue continues. I contacted Amazon and they very nicely sent me a new device, but I'm getting the exact same behavior with the new one.

I've used other media players with the HDMI port on my TV and haven't had any issues at all. Is there something different about the output of the FireTV that my TV just doesn't like?

Any ideas?
