now the upgrade to pro 7.6 is mandatory. Otherwise, it is no longer possible to watch Apple TV + =/////
Still broken. I can't like videos or sub channels with my 3rd gen apple tv.
I bought a$30 amazon fire stick to stream with. If amazon breaks it for me after a few years, no big loss.

@doyle871. Ugh that stinks. You do need to disable automatic updates in settings. Do it first thing after roll back. It will ask to update every couple days. Just say no.
Apple TV Software Update 7.6.2 is released. Installed it on my Apple TV 3rd gen and the YouTube hanging bug is fixed. Pausing YouTube streams will now show a 'Resume' screen.
Hallelujah! IT ONLY TOOK HOW LONG? 2 OR 3 MONTHS.
