Apple TV (2016) has playback speed issues after tvOS update

2016 AppleTV Speed Issue - After the most recent tvOS update on my 2016 AppleTV, it seems to be having speed issues. While watching any app (Xfinity, Netflix, Hulu, etc,) it goes from regular playback speed to 1.5x and the only way to fix it is if I restart AppleTV and then it lasts for about two days before it starts again. I know it is 10 years old, but is there a fix or is it just their way of forcing me to get a new one? Thanks.

Apple TV HD, tvOS 26
