SiriusXM AppleTV app
SiriusXM has an AppleTV app available through the App Store. The authoring of this tip came about because a not so obvious solution to a serious problem. The SiriusXM App version under 7 does not update to version 7 or later. Upon updating TvOS, this makes streaming on App very unreliable. You may see music stop after a few seconds or minutes, and the bargraph showing the playing of music continue while the audio stops, or the bargraph show nothing at all. This is a sign you need to update the App. The App's own settings do not offer a means of updating to the latest version.
To update to the latest version,
- hold down the trackpad of the remote and wait for the icons to jiggle and offer a menu to delete the app.
- open the App Store AppleTV app and download SiriusXM from there.
- Note former versions may have your favorite stations under Favorites. Those have now been moved to Library.
This was the experience on an AppleTV 4th generation.
