Every time I boot the ATV up the volume/back buttons are always lagging/delayed slightly. Only a restart or re-pairing (hold volume up + back button) fixes it. It happens 100% of the time on initial power on. Tried resets, hdmi cords etc. Is this common with os 15? Seemed to happen after updating.

When I first updated to tvOS 15 my new 2021 remote took about 10 minutes to regain full functionality. I still have periodic loss of functionality for a few moments, sometimes requiring a restart of the ATV. I think just like everything Apple seems to release these days, tvOS 15 is buggy. I’m also having issues with the Philo live TV app crashing, although it has always been a buggy app. Philo apparently hasn’t figured out the new tvOS 15 well enough to stabilize their app.

Yea I’m ok with bugs here and there but this issue is happening 100% of the time each time on start up which is worrisome.

I tried the new remote with a totally separate tv/system and the older atv4k. Experience the same exact issue 100% of the time. This atv is on 14.5. So I’m wondering if it’s the remote firmware or an issue with the remote. Any suggestions?

I agree it is likely the remote FW causing issues. When I upgraded my ATV 4K 2017 to tvOS 15, apparently the remote FW took a while longer to install and was probably why the remote (2021 version) wouldn’t work for several minutes. I’ve encountered this before on previous tvOS updates where the remote takes some time after the update to start working again. I also experience this on my Fire TV Cube when I update it and its remote takes a few minutes to start working again.
