Home Screen sync on AppleTV – can old AppleTV be restored after doing so?

[lars666]

I'm thinking about upgrading my AppleTV and don't want to install everything again – therefore I like to use the Home Screen sync feature. However, I also want to sell my old AppleTV after that. Can I sign off from iCloud on it and restore the device after the sync – or will the synced Home Screen also disappear from my new AppleTV when doing so?

(Would really love a REAL backup solution with all settings like for every other Apple device, too ...)

Thanks in advance for an answer!

Did this with mine, once it’s synced you are good to wipe the old Apple TV, erasing it.
