Description
a clear description of the problem
not sure how to report better, sorry.
most of the time the Apple TV/tvOS is being very laggy, on the latest public release. if listening to music while browsing around the music is crackling. many time the Apple TV becomes unresponsive, crashes, and i get back to the main menu. it has been barely usable since the 26 update.
a step by step of instructions to reproduce the problem
really, it's hard to explain i guess. plug the Apple TV, use it, and the slowness is obvious right away.
what results you expected
i expected my Apple TV to work at least as well as before the 26 update
what results you actually saw
again, hard to say. overall very poor performance. music crackling. restart on its own. AirPlay stops after ten seconds. etc. not usable.
