Apple tv update - tv will now not play, buffers only - 10/11/25

I updated my apple tv to OS26 and it will now not play at all, it just buffers. Restarted device, cleaned contacts, reset modem, unplugged apple tv - nothing works. This is ridiculous.

If you have the Speedtest app run that to see what it reports. If you are using wifi and have a model with ethernet then try that to see if that makes a difference. Try a restore. If it persists contact Apple support.
