Latest AppleTV 4K update removed my AppleTV’s ability to turn off my TV. Was working fine previously.

Yeah, it's weird, before it was OK. Now I find that if the TV is turned on by the AppleTV, the AppleTV will not be able to turn it off. If the TV is turned on by the TV's remote then the AppleTV will be able to turn it off.

Anyways, it's a really old Toshiba HD TV from 2009 which refuses to die. One white pixel is all it has to show for, for all those years in service. I guess I should be happy for that but that's why I have the ATV4K but no 4KTV.

I used it for Netflix & Youtube even though my TV already has the latter 2. Malas to switch input source. Airplay not so much. My main reason for getting the ATV4K was to use it as a Homekit hub.

Noticed that I talk in the past tense as I'm now using a HomePod. Sold the ATV4K just before the AppleTV+ keynote. I thought Apple was going to release a new version. Anyway with AppleTV+ and Arcade, I'll be getting another unit soon.

I find that you really need an Apple Music subscription to make full use of the HomePod. I’m on the free trial now and it’s great. My main use for it is HomeKit. I don’t really use AirPlay much.

Mostly Aqara: Switches, tunable white bulbs, smoke detector; temp, water, motion, vibration & door sensors.
Mi: Bedside Lamp
Koogeek: Bulbs, Light strips
I think that's about it.

The HomePod is mainly used to control the switches and bulbs. You can also ask about humidity, temperature, door open/closed but that's not really useful.

1. Nope. No Astro Go in the Apple TV App Store
2. Yes. My TV is also 1080p. 9 years and only 1 white pixel. Wife say cannot buy 4K TV yet.

Don’t have. Unfortunately.
