Amusingly, my AppleTV is currently the one thing that doesn't even though it used to - for some reason, with no changes, it just stopped turning on the TV. Switch 2 can happily turn on the TV though. Most peculiar.
(I've tried updating the AppleTV, replugging the HDMI cable, unplugging the HDMI cable for <period of time>, etc. Nothing has worked. TV does not have any network which means it can't have had any nefarious updates.)
This has happened to me several times. I believe what fixes it is power cycling my AV receiver, in case it helps you.
Might if I had an AV receiver. Apple TV is plugged directly into the TV. But the TV does have a weird junction box (consolidates all the connections into a single cable up to the TV, maybe it counts as an AV receiver) and it might be worth unplugging everything from that and that from the TV. Will give it a try.
this. power cycling my Marantz fixed it. Otherwise Apple TV is rock solid.
try rebooting the remote: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102569 it always fixes problems with either turning the tv on/off or volume issues for me
Tried that without success. Also turned off Tailscale just in case that was keeping "alive" and the TV wasn't really getting a "I've turned on" signal - nothing doing. Investigations continue!
