I have 3 HDMI devices connected to my panel:
A computer on HDMI 1
An Apple TV 4K on HDMI 2
A soundbar on HDMI 3
If I’m using my computer on HDMI 1, then press the menu or back buttons on the Siri remote, the input will switch to HDMI 2, the Apple TV.
Why is this?
How can a Siri remote even switch the input AT ALL?
Shouldn’t it only have control over HDMI 2? The input I plugged it into?
How do I contain it?
Apple TV 4K (3rd generation)
In the Apple TV Settings in Remotes and Devices - Control TVs and Receivers - set this to Off. Or it will switch inputs to Apple TV when you press a key on the Siri Remote.

That does work, but you shouldn’t have to do that.
Only two buttons on the remote switch input back to the Apple TV: Back & Menu.
Why does pressing those buttons tell the tv “change input?” Why not the other buttons?
If you can’t change input from Apple TV itself, why is it changing input all of a sudden?
Both of those buttons facilitate returning to the main menu / Home.

I’m not sure I understand how those articles help answer the question. Could you elaborate?
