Two Apple TV 4k's in device list but only have one in the house.

I have 3 older Apple TVs, of which only the 2nd (or 3rd?) generation box is still in use (in an upstairs bedroom). I just bought a new 2022 4k Apple TV, and it is working great. However, I now see two Apple TV 4k's on the device list of my iMac, my iPad and my iPhone. Both have different Serial Numbers. All of our devices are on the same home network. How could this be, and can I just delete or "forget" one of them without messing everything up? Thanks.

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 16

You can remove devices from your device list without messing everything up. If one of the removed devices is used again, it will ask for sign-in. When the same account is used again, then it will be added to the list again automatically.


Does anyone else have the possibility the sign in with your credentials at another location? Or possibly a device that is no longer in your possession? Then consider changing your password.
