Apple today released tvOS 26.4, the fourth update to the tvOS operating system that came out last fall. tvOS 26.4 is available for the Apple TV 4K and the Apple TV HD, and it comes over a month after Apple released tvOS 26.3.
tvOS 26.4 can be downloaded using the Settings app on the Apple TV. Open up Settings and go to System > Software Update to get the new software. Apple TV owners who have automatic software updates activated will be upgraded to tvOS 26.4 automatically.
Apple added a new Genius Browse section to the Apple TV app in tvOS 26.4. Genius Browse is a content discovery feature that provides recommendations for TV shows and movies across multiple suggested categories. Suggestions vary based on content preferences, and the options are updated regularly.
The update removes the dedicated iTunes Movies and iTunes TV Shows apps that Apple started phasing out in 2023, which means wishlists will no longer be available. Apple sent emails to affected customers with instructions on how to transfer wishlist content to the Apple TV app watchlist.
tvOS 26.4 also adds more easily accessible customization options for subtitles, and it improves Apple TV Audio Format settings with an option for Continuous Audio Connection for HDMI output.
Full release notes for tvOS 26.4 are available through Apple's tvOS support document.

Honestly the Apple TV is a mess. I wish they'd revisit their interface completely. especially around edge cases like thumbnails not loading and not having ANY context about the thing you are clicking on. no ability to sort movies or see the years easily.. not to mention the cumbersome switching between purchased content. Also easier removal of autoplay settings for when you just want to browse quietly. ..
My apple tv has been running soooooo terribly lately with extreme input lag from the remote . I read that unpairing the remote and repairing it should help but I can't help but wonder if there's been some underlying OS issues. I keep up to date with fresh updates on that and the homepods that are paired as stereo speakers. Sometimes, I only get audio from one side too. Real magical experience from apple.
Why is it an option? Is there any disadvantage to enabling it?
Apple TV 4K 2021 connected to a Denon AVR-X2800H. With this new setting enabled, when watching a video with a stereo track, the Denon now report a “Multi Channel input” (as it was a 5.1 track) but audio come out only from left/right speakers. With this setting disabled, the Denon report correctly as Stereo and then I can choose any “decoder” (like DTS Neu:X) I want. So I’ll keep this disabled.

A relative of mine has this remote issue on theirs. It's really awful.
I wish they’d fix YouTube streaming to Apple TV over AirPlay. If a YouTube video has multiple soundtracks (which is getting very common now days with AI-generated dubs), the video will play in some random foreign language with no way to change it to the native audio. UNLESS you set the quality to 360p (only!), but that looks awful.
and it improves Apple TV Audio Format settings with an option for Continuous Audio Connection for HDMI output.
Can a kind soul please dumb that down for me and will it do anything noticeable for my Sonoc Arc?
I saw a video the other day about it. What I think it means is, at least on mine, sometimes I start a show or movie and the sound cuts in a couple seconds later. You get almost a click noise. It should fix that.
