AppleTV Glitches post tvOS 26

[litmag01]

Since updating to tvOS having multiple technical issues on my Apple TV 4Ks. Most I can live with: the visual scrolling glitches, flickering when moving within app menus, and action latencies suggesting possible memory issues.

That said it might just be my units, but what is really bothersome is when videos do not play after the Apple TV 4Ks are woken from sleep and the require a restart to resolve the issue. OS features work fine and applications open fine but after selecting a show to watch it simply won't play - any streaming service app. This issue started on both of my devices after upgrading to tvOS26.

tvOS version 26.0.1

Did you manually update your Apple TVs? Mine has automatic updates on and is still on tvOS 18. Perhaps Apple has slowed the rollout due to bugs.

I haven't seen any more issues than normal after tvOS 26 update. Once in a while I'll need to force-quit a specific app (PBS and Paramount come to mind) but I've needed to do that in 18 as well. Can't speak to "latencies" as I only get involved when it's not working wife has the remote usually.
