My 4th gen apple tv won't update

Hi, my 4th gen apple tv won't update. The current version is 13.? I've tried updating, reset/update, unplugged, etc. but the update fails to install each time. Is there a solution? The software appears to download, and prepare but doesn't complete installation. I have full internet service.

Apple TV HD, tvOS 13

Contact Apple Support for assistance.

You may be asked to try to restore and update externally, connected to a computer by USB. That will wipe any customization. (You may want to make notes of the current apps before that.)

If you can't restore your Apple TV, take your Apple TV to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for more help.
