TV OS 17 Buggy - eviltoast

I have an Apple TV 4K 1st generation and I updated to TV OS 17 in late September/Early October - either way I am on 17.1 now.

It has got to be the worst update I’ve seen. Every app stalls at random times and I need to restart the whole unit just to access an app cleanly. Slow loading, time outs, strange errors about Netflix, prime, YouTube, max, etc stating “xyz app is not available, please try again later.” I’ve also gotten “there is not enough space to download this app” multiple times when I know there is more than enough room - I have sub 15 apps loaded which amounts to ~3 GB at most out of a supposed 32 GB.

Anyway, long story long - anyone else experience these issues only after updating to TV OS 17? I never had this issue when in TV OS 16 and down.

Sincerely,

A potential Roku buyer……

    Hey there, all these issues sound like you’re out of storage on the device, or that the devices thinks it is and isn’t managing resources properly. You can probably resolve all these issues if you erase the device and set it back up. With “one home-screen” it’ll download your apps again. You’ll have to sign back in, but I bet it solves your issues 100%.

    I have the same model as you and the device is running really well. Probably worth a shot!
