Appreciate the suggestion there, I thought the same thing so I ran the Apple TV hdmi test and it said all was good but do you happen to know if that’s not always reliable?
Got a tip for us?

I rather have them separate so all the moaning for that one update stays there.
Do you really want to read through pages of post with all the complaining for all the updates in one thread?
I sure don't
I prefer the separate articles. Due to Apple's history of occasionally bricking devices, I appreciate jumping in and tracking different threads for different devices. I can easily monitor the comments per-device and alerts, if any, and know when my comfort level has been met. I credit MacRumors and MR readers (and posters) for the fact I still have operational HomePods. (and some delayed iOS updates as well). Now get posting so I know when it's safe to update!
Yes, just to get the clicks.
"iOS 16 Beta 3 released to developers" which in itself doesn't contain any information because they haven't had even the chance to run it or look at the release note, so it is pretty much the same article as "iOS 16 Beta 2 released to developers" just with updated dates and beta number (not even build number as they don't even give themselves the time to verify that). This is pretty much followed by "WatchOS 9 Beta 3 released to developers", "TVOS Beta 3..." and so o. Then we get "What's new in iOS 16 Beta 3", followed what "What's new in WatchOS 9 Beta 3". This ones typically contain more useful information but again could be easily consolidated.
it is all about generating the most clicks, but never about the quality. God bless AdBlock anyway!
There really is an art to getting the settings correct. When I first got my Apple TV I wasn’t getting the Dolby Digital stuff. Found a YouTube channel for some folks in the UK that had a great explainer. I was not aware that the actual Home Screen is only SDR vs HDR.
I am looking forward to 16 which if I have read correctly will correct the annoyance of having to choose a user profile every time i open the app.
It happened to me specially with the first episode on the new season of Tehran. The audio was so off it was unwatchable. The second episode was fine, but interestingly the recap from the first episode at the beginning was still out of sync.
Is the device storage full? Had something like that once. Had to delete some stuff then it worked fine.
I really hope they fix the freezing of the picture while the audio continues to play in Netflix issue.
Have this issue with Sling Tv it’s so annoying. Built in apps on my TV are better then the ATV. Very disappointed in the picture quality/judder.
Oh joyful joyful😡, still got the same f_ing problem with dolby atmos on my airpods max, still insane volume drops and audio stuttering on apple tv 4k (the new) No audio problems playing movies or tv shows from my iPhone 12 mini. PLEASE APPLE FIX THIS!!! This is just Embarrassing.
Proceeded to update, and then left the room. Came back to the TV saying that it had no signal. The Apple TV indicator light was on and would respond to the remote, but nothing appearing on the screen.
Took a chance that the update was actually finished and pulled the power cord for a moment. It booted back up and the update was done.
Scary. I rarely experience issues during updates.

Not all HDMI cables are equal. Cheaper or older cables can fail to work properly. Not saying this is your issue, but it could be a factor.
What do you mean by this?
Filmmaker Mode is a TV setting function so not sure where Apple TV support comes into it.
I can use Filmmaker Mode on my Panasonic so if you’re not able to then wouldn’t that be an LG issue rather than the Apple TV?
I hope this fixes the one bug that the previous version seemed to introduce. If I switched the output to my AirPods, that went flawlessly. However, when I'd take out my AirPods and put them in their case, or if they switched to another device (like my phone or my Mac), the ATV4K would then revert the audio back to "TV Speakers" instead of the default I'd set (HomePod minis). Then I'd have to manually set the output back to the HomePod minis.
Finally the Atmos issues are gone for me (AFTER MONTHS!). Using a first gen Apple TV 4K and a couple of stereo paired homepods. A previous software update extended the issue from the second apple tv 4K to the first one. 15.6 seems to have finally fixed this.
I was on 15.5 and to my surprise when I updated my Apple TV last night it only upgraded to 15.5.1. I was assuming each update would include all updates prior like it happens with iOS and the Mac and so my Apple TV would have been brought directly to 15.6. Clearly that was not the case
All that does is check to see if your cable and port support high bandwidth so the ATV can set the correct Chroma values.
You have an HDMI issue for sure. Whether it’s the cable or the port on your TV, that’s for you to test.
No, that's the weird thing. It's the 64GB HD and I have about 55GB free. Yesterday I had to plug into my 2018 Mini to do a restore so I could update the FW. It happened all of a sudden.
