Apple TV 4K
I talked to Apple Support today, Jan 16 at 16:30 Eastern. I was told that they had many calls on this last night. Engineering was contacted and a fix was made. My unit cleared itself this morning, before the call. I had unboxed a new Apple TV 4K, so I thought a hand a problem with the unit. All good now.
Thanks to the folks that replied.

I’m having the same problem! I spent over an hour on the phone with support, and they couldn’t help. I’ve tried everything! I have another Apple TV 4K that works just fine, but the new one I just got from Spectrum won’t update. I’ll have to make a visit to the Genius Bar tomorrow.
I also had this issue, tries a few things that I had read about, Restart, Reset & Install, manually set the DNS. But nothing worked. The update would download, then immediately fail when "Preparing the Update" (Or something similar).
Until the next morning. So, probably an 8-9 hour wait did the trick. I suspect when a new device is registered it takes time to propagate through Apple's systems. But, what do I know . . .
Apple tv update. The update was not successful. Try again later.
