Apple TV Remote App

So Apple Updated the remote app, obliviously with iOS 15, that is native in the control center. The change I’m asking about is the new channel buttons added. Obviously the buttons for changing channels but the Apple TV doesn’t have any channels to change.

Question:

Is there a new feature I’m missing or don’t know about or is apple preemptively making a change for a future update?

Apple TV HD, tvOS 14
