Which xbox controller buttons do what?

Problem with PS5 Controller on 3rd gen 64GB Apple TV My PS5 controller acts erratically on 3rd Gen Apple TV 4K 64GB. Have tried 2 PS5 Controllers and also have the latest Apple Tv and PS5 updates. I also have a 3rd Gen Apple TV 4K 128GB and the controllers work fine. Also work fine on 2nd Gen 4K Apple Tv please release a patch to correct this issue. The controllers are unusable. Sometimes they work for a small period then start loosing the plot.

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?
