Apple TV 4K not downloading new screensavers

For about a week now my 2017 Apple TV 4K has only been showing the “Passing Downtown Los Angeles” screensaver on my TV. I have downloads set to daily, my storage is nowhere near full and when I swipe on the touchpad it just repeats the screensaver. Nowhere online have I found an answer.

The issue actually started after updating to 16.2, and there’s plenty of storage left, the small number of apps I do have downloaded aren’t large at all. I’ve had it on “download daily” for about a week now and it still hasn’t showed a new screensaver.

Hi _Atlas_,


Is your Apple TV software up to date? You can follow these instructions to ensure it is:


Update your Apple TV


Also please note this information from our support article about Aerial screen savers:


"The number of Aerials that you can download depends on how much storage is available on your Apple TV. To manage storage on your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Manage Storage."

Also please allow 24 hours after changing the frequency of downloads for the screensavers to see additional screen savers.


Cheers!
