Great, now release 14.7 because I, like a proper moron, updated to the beta instead of doing a full reset. And now I cant until they release GM 14.7.
I would use 14.7 beta because it expands optional frame rate match settings of DV/HD/SDR. Not like its has any real issues.
 
Same here. The update failed twice on my ATV 4K, but I tried it for the third time, it passed.
It’s weird. One of my 4K (5th Gen) models had no problem. One 4th Gen and another 5th Gen both failed out.

Both are almost done now, looks like it got past the part where it would fail on this second try.
 
Updating both my phone and TV has allowed me to perform the color calibration whereas before the process would be stuck on “preparing”

Has anyone found anything in tvOS 14.6 for Power button to use IR, for those of us who have HDMI CEC issues?

Apple promised Power IR control.
On the Apple TV 4K Tech Specs Web page it says “Control your TV or receiver via IR or CEC”. With a footnote (3): "Powering on and off, switching input to Apple TV, controlling volume, and mute.

Ditto here, also in Florida. I checked on the Apple TV’s we have.

Edit: 2 minutes after posting it showed up
Everything is updated here now It took longer than expected because I also updated my external install of Catalina to the latest security updates. Being on a spinning drive, makes updates slower, while normal use, is pretty much OK.

So: Big Sur 11.4, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPad Air 2, and 2 Apple TVs 14.6. Everything seems to be good to go here.
 
Where are the Apple Digital Master badges supposed to be? I looked at one of my albums, that I have through Apple music (not purchased, Album is "The Essential John Denver" and I didn't see the Apple digital master badge.
Do not all albums have the badge? I know the same album through Amazon Music HD is either HD, or Ultra HD, don't remember which. I went back and looked at Amazon's specs and they look identical to what Apple is going to be rolling out, so I'll have to wait and see.
 
Which isn't helpful when you are watching TV with AirPods.
That's what I was so excited about when Spatial Audio on the Airpods Pro was first announced. I wanted to watch a movie with surround sound on my airpods. I was really disappointed when it was only for iphone/ipad. Hopefully this allows it.

No. Doesn’t have the right tech built into the Apple TV’s unfortunately. That would be my favorite request that it worked.
Such a huge missed opportunity. From my understanding, don't the headphones just need to "know" where they are in relation to the screen? I assumed the accelerometers in the iOS devices make that possible, but surely there's a way to fake it with Apple TV -- hell, I'd even park my phone next to my Apple TV if the ATV could piggyback off the iPhone's sensors somehow.

Over three generations of Apple TV, none of mine has ever updated all by itself, even though I always enable the option.
I like to always do manual updates, even with automatic enabled just to make sure it's done, and everything goes as expected. Letting it do it automatically could either lead to cases where, like you said it doesn't happen on it's own, or something goes wrong, and you could end up with a mess that could have been avoided doing it manually in the first place.

I've never had a problem with Apple TV updates. Anyway, why have the option if it doesn't work?
