Apple TV update stuck at end of bar I am updating my Apple TV to version 17. It downloaded the update fine and went through various phases. However it's been stuck for over an hour now with the bar across the screen pretty much full. How long should I wait before powering it down to see what happens on reboot?

Get help - Update your Apple TV - Apple Support

* If the progress bar for the update appears stuck or paused, and "Preparing Update" or "Applying Update" appears on your TV screen, allow more time for the update to complete. If you've been waiting for more than an hour, contact Apple Support before you restart or unplug your Apple TV.
