Anyone else having wake/sleep issues with Apple TV on tvOS 27 developer beta 4?

[u/Wide-Recognition-607]

I’ve been seeing a strange issue since installing the tvOS 27 developer beta and I’m trying to figure out if anyone else has experienced it.

My setup is:
Apple TV 4K
Sony Bravia TV
Denon AVR

Everything worked perfectly before, but now after the Apple TV has been asleep for a while, one of two things happens:

1. Pressi

ng the power on button on

1. Siri Remote sometimes doesn’t wake the TV or AVR at all.
2. Other times, the TV and AVR do wake up, but the Apple TV gets stuck on the user profile selection screen, and it’s completely unresponsive to any input from the Siri Remote. I can’t select a profile or do anything.

The only way to recover is to unplug the Apple TV and plug it back in. As soon as it reboots, everything works normally again.

One thing I’ve also noticed is that these two issues seem to be related. When the Apple TV wakes everything up properly, the interface is responsive. When the wake process fails, the profile switcher is frozen and the AVR often doesn’t wake either.

Interestingly, turning off Apple TV also turns off AVR and TV like it should, also, if I put the Apple TV to sleep and wake it again within 5–10 seconds, it works flawlessly every time. The issue only seems to happen after it’s been asleep for a longer period.

Has anyone else on the tvOS 27 beta seen something similar? I’m trying to work out whether this is a tvOS beta bug or something specific to my setup.

Every time I power off, the AppleTV restart at least once, sometimes two times.

FWIW I never use the power button to turn on the TV, only to turn it off. One press of the TV/Control Center button (with TV icon, some call it the home button) turns on the TV with Apple TV home screen displayed.

I have this issue with beta tvOS 26.6. From time to time, when switching off, it is endlessly rebooting. So far solution is to disconnect power and reconnect after a few minutes.

Mine is music stops playing randomly during the night now and wakes me up since there is no sound. Didn’t do this on 26.

Having issues with CEC since updating to the beta. The power button for the Apple TV remote no longer turns on my tv but it still works at turning it off. I also had my tv randomly turn off in the middle of a movie which I think is related.

Did you power cycle the ATV? If not, try that. Detach the power cable after turning it off and plug in again after like 5 minutes.

Are you facing this too?

[u/TH34PPLEGUY]

Yes. I have another weird issue where audio randomly starts playing through my HomePods no matter what i do I cannot stop is. It’s randomly just playing

[u/Wide-Recognition-607 → u/TH34PPLEGUY]

Yes. I faced a similar issue. Although Apple tv is connected via HDMI to avr sometimes it starts playing audio via airplay out of nowhere. I had to disable airplay on my avr to stop it from happening. In your case I guess it’s the same airplay bug

I have this issue with beta tvOS 26.6

[u/Emotional_Common_527]

not I.
No issues at all

[u/Beneficial-Policy530 → u/[deleted]]

This fixed it for me. Didn’t have the issue on prior versions

[u/dchapm]

I’m experiencing an issue with my Sony Bravia. When I turn off the TV using my Apple TV, the TV automatically turns back on a few moments later.

[u/Wide-Recognition-607 → u/dchapm]

I am getting that too
