Apple Seeds tvOS 27 Beta 5 to Developers

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the fifth beta of tvOS 27 to developers for testing purposes, with the update coming two weeks after Apple released the fourth beta.

The beta can be downloaded and installed through the Settings app on the Apple TV. A free developer account is required.

tvOS 27 has few new features compared to the other 27 software updates, but it does add a redesigned Podcasts app, options for larger text, and a more responsive Control Center.

AirPlaying to an Apple TV from another Apple device is faster, and apps and animations are smoother. You can also now see AppleCare coverage details in the Settings app.

More on the features in tvOS 27 can be found in our Apple TV roundup.

Hopefully they’ve fixed ARC - got my Apple TV hooked up to paired HomePod mini’s and use arc to pass through the sound from my tv and had loads of issues with the sound dropping and having to restart either my tv, Apple TV or both to get it back again in beta 4

Anything in there worth buying a new Apple TV for an arm and a leg?

I had to re-Learn my Sony Bravia 8ii's remote control wand with the ATV after installing tvOS 27 Beta 5. The "Back" button was lost in the process.
