Downgrading on Apple 4k TV tvOS 13 Beta
Hey guys, I upgraded my Apple 4k TV to the tvOS 13 Beta using the beta profile. I want to revert back to tvOS 12. Is that possible if my device doesn't have a USB-C port?

No. You can remove the profile, and wait for a non-beta release to update to when its available. But there is no way to downgrade it.
Also, as explained in the Beta enrollment, the Beta is confidential and cannot be discussed here and Apple offers no support for Beta versions. So you are on your own.

Have you ever been involved in any of Apple's beta programs? Assuming not a possibility was that someone mistakenly flagged the beta for general release momentarily at the same time that your Apple TV checked for updates. I can't otherwise see how or why your device could have downloaded it.

I was on the beta back in tvOS 11 or 12, but when it was release I disabled betas and unenrolled, so if it is because of that, I don't understand why I got this beta, but not the earlier versions.
Something is screwed up somewhere.

Indeed, but if you've previously been enrolled then that is probably why this happened now, even though we can agree it shouldn't have. I rather suspect you will have to live with things as they are until the official release of tvOS 13.

Dear OP -
Sadly this has been asked and answered all over the internet. No, you can't. There isn't a way to do it.
I'm sorry your topic was hi-jacked by someone else.

You'll need to wait for 13.0.1 or whatever version is released after 13.
There will be a tvOS 13 GM release for the Beta testers, which is essentially the same as the final public release. After that, you can remove the Beta profile, and wait for next public release to update out of the Beta versions.
And yes, Betas do expire. At some point in the future, the beta will require you to update to something else, whether its a public release, or another beta version. But generally that doesn't happen for some time.
I'm having this exact same issue as above only I did join the beta with intent and now that tvOS 13 is out I wanted to remove the beta profile and start fresh by resetting my Apple TV today. Only problem, the option to remove the beta profile is no longer visible. I actually started researching going back to the regular software cycle and removing the beta profile weeks ago and the option to turn off the beta has been missing since I first checked. I know it was there at one point because I used it to join the public beta of tvOS 13 back when it was released.
I have two Apple TV's (One HD and one 4K) and both are behaving the same. Both are on version tvOS 13.0 (17J5549c) and nether are providing the option to remove the beta profile from the software update area of settings. I'm hoping to remove the profile so that I can reset the box and then allowing it to update with todays official GM release of tvOS 13 so I can start fresh and get the regular updates again.
Any thoughts on this one?
If you look at Settings > System > Software Update as shown in https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/unenroll#tvos do you have a Get Beta Updates entry in the menu?

How do you remove the profile from TV OS 13 Beta
They are able, as they did it for me today.
No, I don’t have that. Only “Software update” and “automatically update”
i don’t know how my thread got linked to this. Apologies.
You tried to start a new topic of your own?
That's a waste of time as others report around the internet with this same issue that they have already approached Apple and been rebuffed.
Does wait for next update mean that it‘s possible to update to tvOS 13 (no beta) when it comes out or have I to wait for tvOS 13.0.1 or higher?
Has got a beta a expirence date?
