Definitely gigabit.
I thought the same thing until I realized the default Speedtest server (fastest ping near me I suppose) was limited to only 100Mbps. 🤦‍♂️
Switched to a different server and it's over 950Mbps.
Got a tip for us?

The switching hub lits only 100Mbps LED. It looks like hardware failure. I made a genius bar reservation tomorrow.
Edit: power cycling solved the issue. Rebooting didn’t work but physical power disconnect and reconnect solved it.

It’s been changeable for a very long time. You could either have the top banner show the selected “up next” show or you could have it be a list of “to watch” content. Now “up next” doesn’t show a banner. Just the thumbnail list. It’s lame. Apple pressing their content on you even more aggressively than ever.
Just checked the specs page and you're right - it's supposed to be 1000Mbps. AFAIK all the previous models were 100Mpbs.
tvOS 16.2 adds support for Apple Music Sing, the new karaoke feature designed to let Apple Music subscribers with an Apple TV sing along to their favorite songs, solo or in duets. Apple Music Sing is compatible with the third-generation Apple TV 4K, which is the newest model.
You get half the experience. It had the lyric tracking but not the volume

Restart your switch. I've had cases where my UniFi ports sometimes only operate at 100 Mbps. A restart will fix it.
Does it really? For me it only works when AirPlaying to it. The native tvOS Music app doesn’t show the Sing button for me. I’m on tvOS 16.2, too.
I went to the sing section under browse and it was following along Beastie Boys Sabotage just fine. My model is A2169

I can get the rolling lyrics, but does it cut the vocals for you and play just the instrumental (like on iOS 16.2)?
Nope I was wrong. Just the rolling lyrics so you get half the experience I guess.
Despite the downgrade to the TV app, I have to say they finally seem to have worked out a lot of the kinks. Doesn’t feel so buggy now especially on iPhone.
See but what’s really important here is engagement. Gotta get you watching Apple TV+. Did you know about Apple TV+? You’re gonna know about Apple TV+. Tim thinks you’re gonna love Apple TV+.
The TV App is buggy and kinda sucks now on the ATV, which is where it should work the best. Lameness, Apple.
The WORST thing about tvOS 16.2 is the new Home update. It's incredibly frustrating. My HomeKit door locks operate over Bluetooth to the Apple TV (the hub) and thus this Apple TV is my gateway to the outside for my locks. With this new update and the subsequent Home "improvements" there's no longer any option to select which device you want to be the hub. And, of course, Apple decided my other Apple TV up in the bedroom, two floors up from my door locks, should be the home hub, so I've no way to connect to my door locks remotely anymore. So, so, so frustrating. Why did Apple remove the option to set which Apple device is the Home hub?
Did they ever have the option? Mine do the same thing. Three wired Apple TVs and it usually selects the furthest away HomePod Mini.
Apple is on a very bad trend lately of completely removing all user choice. It's not like they were really known for that to begin with, but they've removed what little there was. They keep adding things we don't want with no option to change or turn them off.
Yes, prior to the Home update you could specifically select which device was the Home hub.
It never seemed to work for me. I could see them but tapping them didn’t do anything.
The automatic switching of hubs is super annoying. Is the option to turn off hub services on specific ATVs removed? I hadn’t noticed that. Not good. My HomeKit has the same issue. Only one of my ATVs is correctly positioned to act as a reliable home hub. If it switches to one of the others the whole system becomes unreliable.
You still can if you dont upgrade to the new home architecture. Its optional. In fact, is a manual process.
Yes, the option to turn off hub services is gone. All I can say is... best of luck. I've temporarily solved this (maybe?) but unplugging every other Apple TV in the house (including the one Apple assigned as the hub), leaving just the one I want to be the home hub. HomeKit then assigned that one as the hub. I plugged in the other Apple TVs and it has not switched to any of those, thankfully. If it stays this way, I can live with that, even if it's silly I can't manually assign...
OK, can you help me travel back in time to undo this? Because Apple never said this would happen, and I've no way back. It's a BS change without warning.
I actually shut off auto-update on my Apple TV before it updated itself to 16.2 -- because this all sounds really ****ty. I'll update eventually if there's some feature I can't live without or something breaks.
Sad thing is 16.2 is clearly a major bug fix release. And I have a feeling they could have done a bug fix sooner but saved it all for the 16.2 branch. Ugh.
