I am guessing all this beta will have is the new Apple TV app experience that was presented during the iOS 16 portion of the presentation, which are (Lock Screen is obviously not a thing on tvOS but somewhere on the TV app):

Having Arcade run on an iPhone, iPad or Mac and displayed on a TV is a better way to do apps on a TV.

o instead of having an app on the Apple TV box, they’d live in another device and be streamed via AirPlay to TVs that have it built in or via a simplified AirPlay stick, that just contains the TV app and AirPlay capabilities.

Yikes, AirPlaying everything? I hope not.

The ATV and tvOS hasn't taken off because Apple hasn't paid any attention to it or shown off what it can do compared to the much cheaper competition.

There isn't much support for tvOS third party developers from Apple, and this started with the launch of tvOS and the ATV4, so between that and Apple ignoring the platform, the few developers that gave it a try are leaving.

With no developer interest besides the basic streaming apps, it just makes the Apple TV an overpowered, but overpriced streaming box.
