navigation freeze in youtube

I have three Apple TV’s, two 4th gen and one 3rd gen. Just recently the navigation freezes frequently after you watch a show you are given the next show and a new list below. If you scroll down to view the list, it locks here. The only way out is to use the menu button to go back to home. This happens on all three units and there respective remotes. Restarting does not solve this issue.

Apple TV search bar cannot edit Until recently, the search function was working fine. Within the last week or so, when using the search bar (as in Youtube) starting a search works fine, but if I need to edit or add to the search, I can’t get back to the search text and have to start over from scratch. Is it just my Apple TV or is anyone else having this problem?

Apple TV 4K HDR issues on Samsung TV There are several older threads about this issue here, as well as a lengthy one on Reddit, but the solutions are varied, yet no one seems to be able to explain whether they originate from a software glitch on the Apple TV device or not. In brief: my Apple TV 4K has been working great for a few months with a Samsung 4K TV (a TU8000 model) until one day, the colors of everything on the Apple TV main screen and menus appeared greyed out/bluish/washed out. Unplugging the HDMI cable, changing the HDMI cable, changing the HDMI port on the TV, performing a reset of the Apple TV 4K, etc. - none of those worked. Disabling the HDR video format on the Apple TV 4K and enabling 4K SDR instead resulted in a mix of proper and incorrect colors - the menus looked good enough, but when streaming anything on any app (I tried Netflix, Paramount Plus, etc.), the greys and whites were incorrect, etc. What fixed the issue in my case was resetting the picture settings of my Samsung TV and then reenabling 4K HDR video format from the settings of the Apple TV 4K. My TV, by the way, supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. My question is: could someone from Apple explain why this keeps happening? There are older threads about this problem from 5-6 years ago, so this hasn't been fixed yet. And, while, in my case, it seems that there was some issue between the TV picture settings and the Apple TV 4K video format, this issue popped out of nowhere, without me changing anything on either the TV or the Apple TV 4K settings.

Welcome to the Apple community.

If it happens on multiple devices then I would assume the problem is at Google's end of things. You likely have little option but to wait for them to resolve any issues there are.
