It’s been in storage a few years and this is how I found it. I believe there’s no internal battery on any of the black Apple TV models so I don’t understand what this crust could be. Any ideas?
I got an Apple TV 4k today. Have TCL TV and its Google TV is horrible. Nice panel but pitiful OS. Got an iphone, apple Watch, APP3 recenty so now im deep into ecosystem. Last iphone i Had was 4 😂. Super happy!
Since I updated to tvOS 27, I can’t play sound out of my tv and HomePods anymore. Anyone else having this problem? I can do multiple HomePods around the house, but it stops coming out of the soundbar on the tv, even if all are selected. HomePods are on version 27 as well.
For some reason, when I click on A Hulu show and open it up in the Disney+ app, it just goes to the homepage of Disney+ and doesn’t go directly to the show. Is anyone else having this problem? also, I have not checked specifically with a Disney+ show only Hulu shows at the moment.
I have subscribed to Apple TV as an add-on subscription for Amazon Prime, but the search function is terrible and I'd like to just use the main Apple TV App/Website.
However I can't figure out how to log into Apple TV to use the subscription based on the login details I have for Amazon Prime. An Apple guide said I would have to use an email from the subscription service (Amazon) to log in, but I cannot figure this out. I've created an Apple ID and signed into Apple TV directly, but it just offers me a free trial.
I'm in the UK if that's relevant - but would be hugely grateful if anyone could help!
So I'm noticing scrolling, coming in and out of apps, and during normal UI navigation, there's a lot of stuttering. The animations were perfectly smooth in OS26. This is the current gen apple tv 4k 128gb model.
Apple really messed up the performance.
Ever since the upgrade to TVOS27, I have consistent appearance of psychedelic colors when I flip to the AppleTV from my PS5. No changes in devices or setup. I suspected an HDMI handshake issue so I replaced the cable to no avail. I think it’s because the PS5 is HDR and the AppleTV is Dolby Vision, but it always worked fine on TVOS26. Anyone else with this issue?
Is anyone else seeing this after tvOS 27 / iOS 27?
I’m running into a consistent issue with HomeKit scenes that involve media playback.
Any scene that should play music or radio on an AirPlay speaker now fails, unless I add the Apple TV itself as an accessory in the scene.
The problem is that when Apple TV is added, it also starts playing audio through the TV, because Apple TV becomes the active playback device. I only want the audio to go to my AirPlay speaker — and this worked perfectly before tvOS 27.
Scenes that control lights or other accessories still work without any issues.
It doesn’t matter whether I trigger the scene from my iPhone or directly from the Apple TV — the result is the same.
This feels like a change (or a bug) in Apple TV’s Home hub behavior in tvOS 27, where Apple TV now requires being part of the scene to initiate media playback, and then forces itself as the output device.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
And does anyone know a workaround so Apple TV doesn’t force audio through the TV?
