Q: Siri Remote lag ATV4

Hi all,

 

 

After upgrading to TVOS 10, my
Siri Remote started to lag like crazy (trackpad only). The +10 sec tap in
YouTube stopped working and the same with Netflix. The trackpad had become
almost unresponsive. I tried the unpair/pair solution many times but that didn't
work. Then I installed the new Siri Remote iOS app on my iPhone 6
and guest what, no more lag or unresponsiveness. So, I started to go
through the ATV settings and remembered that upon post TVOS 10 upgrade reboot,
I had activated 'Dictation' as I was going through settings. Great feature but
right after disabling it, all my Siri Remote problems disappeared. I then
reactivated it and I can now confirm the behavior. Dictation and Siri
Remote trackpad don't go well together. Is this a new issue with TVOS
10? I don't know as I never used Dictation on TVOS 9. Thought I’d share my
experience. Take care!

Apple TV, tvOS 10

    Hi. Have you restarted Apple TV since the update? I've used Dictation for a while now and the remote trackpad works fine. I have set the sensitivity to Slow because it was hard for me to control at the default.

    Hi Diana,

     

    I have restarted my ATV many times after the upgrade. I am happy with Dictation turned off but every time I enable it, I get the trackpad lag issue.

     

    Thank you!

    I get the same intermittent "lag," though turning off dictation did not fix it for me and it was working fine for several days after installing tvOS 10. The remote app also does not have the lag problems that I'm seeing with the remote. I've tried restarting the apple TV, re-pairing the remote and charging the remote but still no luck.
