Sudden strange stream turned on my apple tv Hi everyone, has someone encountered with the problem that the apple tv is suddenly streaming something else like porn? I was watching a movie and it just suddenly started playing porn and my phone didn't have access to my TV. I am not sure it is because I have a strange neighbor or something else, and it has happened several times which really annoys me.

Thank you very much! Seemed strange to detect a virus in a ehh battery🤔. But the layout and logo was the same as here so made me wonder.
