Apple today seeded the second beta of an upcoming tvOS 12.1.1 update to developers for testing purposes, one week after releasing the first tvOS 12.1.1 beta and a little over a week after releasing tvOS 12.1.

The new tvOS 12.1.1 developer beta can be downloaded onto the Apple TV via a profile that's installed using Xcode. Subsequent betas can be downloaded over-the-air.

We're not yet sure what fixes and changes the tvOS 12.1.1 update might bring, but it's likely to focus on bugs that were not able to be addressed in the tvOS 12.1 update.

Apple provides little information on its tvOS software and tvOS updates have historically been minor in scale, so we may not know what's included in this update. Nothing new was discovered in the first beta, but we'll update this post if any new features are found in the second.

Update: Apple has made a new beta of tvOS 12.1.1 available to public beta testers.

I haven’t updated my Apple TV 4K since release. It runs just fine. Is there any new features with all these updates?

Only if you want significant features like auto format selection, Dolby ATMOS, and other stabilization and bug fixes, including some App support like Amazon Prime.

Regardless, Apple rarely if ever gets it right the first time out of he gate, particularly lately.
