Help! After updating to the latest tvOS version, Apple has installed an "Apple TV" app that will now start whenever I press the Home button. How do I turn it off?
Unfortunately, Apple has changed the behavior of all Apple TVs with a software update. If you now press the Home button of the Siri Remote, then the "Apple TV" app starts instead of returning to the home screen. You can argue about the benefits of the "Apple TV" app for a long time. The easiest way is to change the home button back to the old behavior.
To return to the old procedure (Home-Button = Home-Screen), proceed as follows:
Homescreen> Settings> Remote controls and devices> Home button
There you can assign the Home button again with the old function.
