Apple tested the Himalayan Peaks aerial as a Setup Assistant backdrop in tvOS 27 beta 3

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This landscape aerial is already available in current tvOS versions.

Apple included the aerial file in a new SetupBackground.app that only shipped in tvOS 27 beta 3, and was removed in beta 4.

Continuous Audio Connection Issues

3 Upvotes

I've finally gotten around to troubleshooting some audio issues I've had in my home theater setup since earlier in this year. The main one was an intermittent low end thump on the back channels of my L95TR system. Turns out CAC in AppleTV was the culprit or, well, Dolby MAT to be more specific (was having the same problem on the PS5 until I discovered the Dolby Atmos audio priority function in settings does what CAC does, ie, wraps audio in a Dolby MAT container).

Seems like it was kinda screwing up the sound in general. Everything was much louder with CAC on, but compressed/muddy. After turning it off everything sounds so much better. My wife noticed it too, and she's much less picky than me (the back channel noise didn't even bother her, but she did notice an improvement to sound without being prompted to weigh in).

I think in general if you notice sound problems like this on any streaming device you have, try to figure out if it has its own feature that uses Dolby MAT wrapper, then turn that off. This will cause audio drops when your next piece of media has a audio format different from the last (stereo to Atmos, let's say) but I have been able to get the delay to basically zero by going through my TV and disabling features that post process audio (pretty much anything with AI in the name, or things that claim to help sync HDMI audio and video are actually adding latency and you only want them on if you notice a problem that requires automated intervention at the panel level).

I'm wandering around fora Johnny Appleseeding this information because it's been driving me crazy on the AppleTV since March, and longer on my Playstation. Hope it saves people some headaches.

What is the exact size of photos displayed on AppleTV screensavers?

2 Upvotes

I'm using a shared album with my photography and displaying pre-cropped 16:9 photos full screen on the tv. Now that AppleOS27 allows for full size images in a shared album, I'm trying to figure out what the Apple TV on 27 displays on a 4k screen so I know my best export size. Is there any way we can figure this out?

Apple TV 4K Pause Problem

1 Upvotes

My Apple TV 4K 3rd Gen frequently will back up some or all the way when I pause a show I’m streaming. This isn’t on a specific app or show. It happens whether I press the pause/play button or the clickpad (mine is set to click only). Has anyone resolved this annoying problem?

Cancelling my Apple TV subscription on 4 September, release date for Mayday

Apologies in advance if this flair is incorrect, or I am guilty of transgressing sub rules. u/Mods \- please advise.

I have used AI to find out how to let Apple TV know that I am cancelling my subscription only because they are promoting Ryan Reynolds in Mayday and wanted to share that advice on the process, if any of you are interested.

"To let Apple TV know your specific reason for cancelling, you must submit formal feedback or contact support, as the standard cancellation interface does not provide a text box for custom reasons. Many users protesting Apple TV's heavy promotion of Ryan Reynolds (such as for his film *Mayday*) use alternate communication channels to voice their complaints. \[[1](https://support.apple.com/guide/tv/manage-subscriptions-atvb0d233668/tvos), [2](https://torontosun.com/entertainment/movies/ryan-reynolds-and-kenneth-branagh-buddy-up-for-apples-mayday), [3](https://www.reddit.com/r/teamjustinbaldoni/comments/1vfct97/apple_tv_mayday_post_the_comment_section_is_not/), [4](https://support.apple.com/guide/tv/manage-subscriptions-atvb0d233668/tvos)\\\]

Step 1: Submit Customer Feedback (Most Effective)

Apple maintains a specific feedback portal where product teams read user submissions.

  1. Navigate directly to the official [Apple TV App Feedback Page](https://www.apple.com/feedback/apple-tv-app/).
  2. Fill out your name and email address.
  3. Set the **Feedback Type** to **Feature Request** or **Feedback**.
  4. In the **Comments** section, explicitly state that you are cancelling your subscription because you object to the continuous promotion and front-facing presence of Ryan Reynolds. \[[1](https://www.reddit.com/r/teamjustinbaldoni/comments/1vfct97/apple_tv_mayday_post_the_comment_section_is_not/)\\\]

Step 2: Leave a Reason via "Report a Problem"

If you want to try linking your feedback directly to your billing history, you can use the official purchase reporting system: \[[1](https://support.apple.com/en-us/118223)\\\]

  1. Go to Apple's Report a Problem portal and sign in with your Apple ID.
  2. Click the **"I'd like to..."** dropdown menu and choose **"Request a refund"** or report a problem.
  3. Choose **"Subscription"** and select Apple TV+.
  4. Select a reason from the dropdown, and when the text box appears, type your specific grievance regarding their promotional focus on Ryan Reynolds. \[[1](https://support.apple.com/en-us/118223)\\\]

Step 3: Cancel Your Subscription

To make sure your feedback carries weight, officially terminate your billing cycle using one of these standard methods:

* **On iPhone or iPad:** Open the **Settings** app → Tap **Your Name** → Tap **Subscriptions** → Select **Apple TV+** → Tap **Cancel Subscription**. \[[1](https://www.moneypilot.com/category/cancel/how-to-cancel-apple-tv-plus-subscription)\\\]
* **On a Web Browser:** Visit [tv.apple.com](https://tv.apple.com/) → Click your **Account Icon** in the top right → Select **Settings** → Scroll down to **Subscriptions** and click **Manage** → Select **Cancel Subscription**. \[[1](https://maketecheasier.com/how-to-cancel-apple-tv-plus/)\\\]
* **On Apple TV 4K:** Go to **Settings** → **Profiles and Accounts** → Select your account → Go to **Subscriptions** → Choose **Apple TV+** and follow the prompts to cancel. \[[1](https://support.apple.com/guide/tv/manage-subscriptions-atvb0d233668/tvos)\\\]

If you would like, I can help you draft a **formal complaint message** to copy and paste into Apple's feedback form, or provide details on how to **contact their corporate executive relations team** directly.
