Foreign technology media MacRumors analyzed the user feedback on these connectivity issues and found that they were caused by Bluetooth connectivity failures, even when the Siri Remote and Apple TV 4K were very close together.

Some users have reported intermittent disconnections with the Siri Remote, and the current temporary solution is to re-pair or restart the remote, or unplug the Apple TV’s power cord and plug it back in to reconnect in order to solve the problem.

It is important to note that these issues do not occur when users try to control Apple TV 4K using the Remote app on the iPhone or using the TV remote via HDMI-CEC. This suggests that the failure is indeed the result of a Bluetooth issue between the Remote and Apple TV 4K.

It is unclear what is causing the issue, but there are indications that users are experiencing it after upgrading to the tvOS 16.2 update.

Developers can download the tvOS 16.2 Beta by using Xcode to download a configuration file to Apple TV.

Updates to tvOS are usually small, focusing on internal bug fixes and improvements rather than obvious outbound changes, but there are some notable features in the tvOS 16.2 update: added support for the new Home Home app architecture, which is designed to make home setups faster and more reliable.

The tvOS 16.2 also adds new Siri voice recognition, which allows Apple TV to recognize each person in the family by voice and switch to the appropriate profile. This makes it easier to switch between Apple TV users to get the right music, TV shows, recommendations, and more. Voice recognition supports up to six family members.
