tvOS 16.x needs a lot of fixing. Apple has gotten terribly bad at programming in the past several years. I’m having to use my Fire TV Cube 3rd gen to watch Philo TV as the ATV 4K 2022 version of the app is garbage. That is likely a Philo TV programming issue though, but maybe not considering how buggy tvOS 16.x is.
Just updated to tvOS 16.3 and was surprised that the remote actually connected instantly rather than having to wait a few (to several) minutes after performing the update. The new remote is crap though. I, and several others around the internet, have been experiencing sticky buttons. I have two that are sticking, the TV/Control and the Mute buttons. They started acting sticky several weeks after I received the device. Apple probably uses cheap a$$ parts…
I have no problems at all with the performance of both my 2022 Apple TV 4K’s, and both remotes work absolutely flawlessly.
As far as the performance of the Apple TV goes, maybe a complete reset would help fix the performance issues you are having?
As far as the issues with the remote goes, get an alcohol wipe and give the remote a good wipe down, especially around the buttons that are sticking. That may help with the issue, if not, the remotes are still under warranty and you could call Apple and much more than likely get a new one sent to you. Pain in the you know what, however, if the remote bothers you that much, go for it.
