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?
