YouTube TV Why is YouTube TV not able to use the Apple TV remote consistently like other apps, Disney + or Hulu? My kids have Chromecasts in their rooms and have no issues. Our main family room has the AppleTV and is frustrating to reset all the time.

New iOS upgrade on Macbook Air (A1 chip) no longer allows me to stream Netflix to my Apple TV I can't use my remote for my AppleTV because I only have one iPhone and there is now way to connect the remote app on the iPhone unless you have a second iPhone connected to the network to navigate from. And now when I turn on my AppleTV it shows me a screen promoting AppleTV and their shows for the first 30 seconds before my Screen Sharing from my Macbook Air (A1 chip) connects. It will bring up and pair every site from my Macbook to my AppleTV . . . except for Netflix. Both screens just go black while the audio plays on the TV. Seriously getting very annoyed with Apple these days. Bring back Steve Jobs.
