Siri button sends me to Apple TV app

I have a Apple TV 4K and since a while back pressing or holding the Siri dictate button sends me directly to the search page of the Apple TV app. This happens i.e. when I'm in the YouTube app and most other apps.

I no longer can ask Siri to skip or rewind. I can not find a setting for this.

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 14

Could it be you language setting for the device? Siri is available for select languages based on your region. Asking Siri to skip or rewind is not supported when the interface language is changed beyond the supported languages for your region. Then only dictation remains. For dictation, the active field has to be a text input field. In all other situations, the Siri button brings you to the Search app.
