A lot of Apple TVs end up stuffed behind wall-mounted TVs or in other inconvenient-to-reach places. It'd need to be something you could remotely command the Apple TV to beep, from an iPhone/iPad or HomePod.
Got a tip for us?

Got it, I hadn’t registered the UWB part of the equation. I don’t use mine on a consistent basis, so usually if I try to see them on the Find My App, the last known location is a bit useless and I have to rely on the sound. UWB would be nice indeed.
UWB would be nice. I lost one of my AirPod Pros a week or two ago - didn't realize it until a few days later, when I opened the case and the left one was missing (still not sure how I managed that - I always make a point of putting them away carefully - presumably got interrupted by something). Anyways, the battery had died on the AirPod, but Find My knew the time and location of the last time it had seen the left AirPod, and that was actually really useful, because it told me that I had lost it in the house and not, say, somewhere between the house and the car, or further afield. I found the missing AirPod a day or two later. It's actually a case where UWB wouldn't have helped, because the battery was flat by the time I realized it was missing.
What? The chromecast with gtv is like 50$ and pretty good (I own it too). And there it multiple Roku at around 40-60$ that does the job well.
Yeah the ATV is slightly better but absolutely not worth 100$+ more.
Especially since it had so much problem with Dolby atmos content.
What? I run a lot of Dolby Atmos content through my Apple TV, and I've never had a problem.
Lucky you. Check one of the 500 posts on Martin Logan’s forum, the thread here on MR about the prob https://www.macrumors.com/2022/05/06/apple-tv-dolby-atmos-audio-issues/ or the multiple complain on Reddit or on the mac forum.
Yeah there are budget offers but the ATV is more akin to a Nvidia Shield to me, but cheaper. I'm not saying it's the cheapest i'm saying it's already cheap - it's cheap enough to buy one for each room and not think about it.
