Pressing TV icon while on YouTube TV app makes the screen black. (alien.top)
 

I have the Gen 3 ATV and whenever I press the TV button on the remote (the one that sends you to the main menu) while on the YouTube TV app, the screen turns black and doesn’t fix itself until I keep pressing the TV button.

Anyone have a solution to this?

(I have an LG OLED B9)

Most underrated feature: Reduce White Point (alien.top)
 

For several years I’ve had an accessibility shortcut on my iPhone to reduce white point (triple click power button) and it’s really an eye saver at night time.

Having the same accessibility features on ATV 4K truly is underrated. Watching TV at night is great when I can reduce white point.

Obviously I don’t use it when watching movies but it’s great for binge watching shows.

Turning on ATV 4K resumes playing whatever app was open at original volume...not good for nighttime (alien.top)
 

Is there any way to disable this and have the main menu be the first thing when turning on the Apple TV 4K (gen 3)?

Normally it's not a problem, but at night time I can't have Youtube TV or Hulu automatically start playing the last thing I was watching at fairly high volume.

I couldn't find a setting to change this.

Benefits of Apple TV? in c/apple@hardware.watch

I personally like being able to pair my AirPods easily while gaining Spatial Audio. I like the ability to use my iPhone as a remote which is honestly better than the actual remote imo. I also like the ability to use Siri for almost everything.

This close to disabling the touchpad… (alien.top)
 

Edit: I have the new Apple TV 4k and new remote.

I changed the sensitivity of the tracking to the lowest but that’s only for the speed of tracking, not the activation sensitivity of the touch pad. They really need a setting to change the activation sensitivity because it is TOO DAMN SENSITIVE.

If I’m watching YouTube TV, any time I press one of the arrow keys, I’m suddenly rewinding 30 seconds on the scrubber. I don’t get why the touch activation is even on the left and right arrow keys. If you look at it, there’s clearly a distinct circle indicating where the touch pad is. They should limit the touch area to just that inner circle.

How to login in to different Apple TV+ account than what the Apple TV 4K is using (alien.top)
 

We got an Apple TV 4K and it automatically is using the same email for the Apple TV+ app. Me and my girlfriend have been using her parent’s Apple TV+ account on the built in LG OS app. I don’t see any setting in the Apple TV 4K to use a different login for the Apple TV+ app.

iPhone lockscreen player won’t go away even after TV is turned off (alien.top)
 

How do I get rid of this? TV has been off for awhile. All Apple TV apps or remote apps are closed on my phone. If I click it, the TV turns on which is annoying
