Our AppleTV is setting HFR for AppleTV+, overriding the TV's own settings (I turned this off after purchase). It's making watching series such as For All Mankind quite annoying, due to the uncanny valley. Netflix, YouTube etc. don't behave like this on the AppleTV box (bad Apple!).

Anyone know how to disable this behaviour?
 
i think you're talking motion smoothing, not HFR

a lot of tvs have different settings for different types of video signal input,
it's quite possible that your tv is switching to a dolby vision preset that you haven't disabled motion smoothing on.

when watching a show, pause (not stop) and go into you tv setting and verify that the settings are correct.
 
Don’t know about netflix, but For All Mankind seems to be filmed in cinema rate (24/1001 fps) so motion is cinematicqlly blurry and not soap-opera-like (60fps).
Dolby Vision picture mode on your TV most likely has its own settings.
