HomeKit Two Apple TVs - both download the same apps

[swandy]

I just signed up to try Apple Arcade (love it so far) but noticed that when I install a game on the Apple TV 4K (which I generally use) the same games are installed on the Apple TV (Gen 4) that is in another room. Both have Automatic Downloads for Apps turned off. But from what I have read it has something to do with the Home Kit app on my iPhone - which I had to put near the two Apple TVs after the last update. It has something do do with having the same "home screen" on both Apple TVs, but I don't see any setting - either on the Apple TVs or in the Home App on the iPhone - to turn this option off.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

Ok. I turned off the iCloud setting for Home on my iPhone. Will see what happens when I have a chance to check the Apple TV’s later on. Thanks.

There is a setting to match all your home screens. I believe thats's what you need to turn off. Ill have to check where the setting is, but I know for a fact when the TV gets setup it asks if you want to turn this on/off. I just had to restore one of my Apple TVs the other day and this came up.

Actually just checked and couldn't find the setting. Seems dumb to only have it as an option during setup. So I guess depending on how big of an issue this is you can try restoring the secondary one.

I am not at home at the moment but I remember a setting called "One home screen" which I believe is in the iCloud section of the settings app. I turned it on to ensure both of my Apple TVs appeared the same.

The setting that you are looking for is "One Home Screen". It's a toggle that is located in Settings > Users and Accounts > iCloud. Turning it ON will cause all AppleTVs (gen 4 or later) to automatically download apps installed on another AppleTV using the same iCloud account. Turning it OFF will allow you to have different apps on all AppleTVs logged into the same iCloud account.

I am not using now but I remember a setting called "One home screen" which I believe is in the iCloud section of the settings app. You can try this. If i get to know exactly i will update you. Recently they launched Iphone 11 with great features and great custom packaging.
