Newest AppleTV and 4th Gen 4 tuner started stuttering all video badly suddenly 7/13/26

The Homepods update automatically so not sure when it happened. But my issues started a few days ago.

There is no continuous audio option

HomePod 26.5 was released in the middle of May. It takes a while to reach devices that allow autoupdate.

My response to Tablo was delayed as I exceeded the maximum number of replies on my first day in this forum.

Get security but this is excessive by any reasonable assessment.

Anyhow, sending sound from AppleTV through TV in AppleTV settings absolutely relieves the video issue as others have reported here, thank you everyone.

However, now I cannot use my Apple HomePods on my newer AppleTVs as I have been able to do since day one.

This is unacceptable and a deal breaker for me.

On the positive side, with the HomePods out of the equation, I am experiencing outstanding performance, the best ever from the Tablo.

Irony sucks

Thank you for checking that for us. We apologize this issue has impacted your usage with Homepods, but at least we now have a more definitive answer of where the source of the problem lies. We will be investigating a fix as soon as we can.

Thank You very much

I look forward to your fix and have enjoyed getting to know this forum.

Glad for this resource

It started a couple of days ago with me. Both Apple TV boxes of different series. Only happens on live TV channels. I can watch live TV channels fine on my iPad. Very annoying!! It also does it on live recordings from weeks ago. Also use a pair of Home Pod 2’s for TV sound.

I have been able to watch live channels and live recordings by going into my Samsung TV’s settings and selecting TV speakers. So somehow my HomePod 2’s all of the sudden caused problems. It is a pain in the ass workaround , but it will have to do until someone much smarter than me figures it out!
