Apple TV app switcher reversed?

Apple TV 4k home screen, scrolling with the remote seems to be intuitive like scroll left, the icon selector goes left, and vice versa, but double clicking the remote to get to the app switcher and scrolling between open apps seems to be backward, scrolling left to go right and vice versa.

Is there a way to manually flip this or is it just baked into the UI?

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 16

Apple TV remote up and down buttons no longer work Apple TV remote up and down button no longer work but the left and right still work. In order to change channels I have to swipe up and down but would prefer the up and down buttons. I have reset, repaired and still doesn't work.

Swiping on the Apple TV remote app doesn’t work IOS 17.1 and Apple TV also fresh on 17.1. Both restarted. With the remote app I can’t swipe anymore. Nothing happens. I can switch to directionkeys and it works just fine. My wife can swipe, she’s still on 17.0.1, so my wild guess is 17.1.

Apple tv ok button change Do we know why Apple change the timing of short va long press of the ok button? Before that change, it was needed to press ok button for about 3 second to move or delete an icon. Suddenly Apple change to about a sec or less. So for those who are using an universal remote with default of 3 repeats, it resulted in user not be able to start an app. Pressing ok was just started to wiggle the icon and open the move menu. One customer of mine spent 4 hours with Apple support and Apple could not find the issue. i hope Apple to be more consistant on command code. What an useless change. 3 sec was fine to push and hold to open the move menu. note: there is IP driver for many AV product. Except Apple TV because Apple keep reinventing the wheel for command like menu, up, down etc..

Try to think of it differently: To “go left”, you swipe the pages to the right. The action is moving the pages to one side.

The direction is not adjustable at this time.
