4k Apple TV frozen

My 4 Apple TV is frozen. Light is on constantly but it is stuck on the home page. I have reset it three times using the tv and back arrow on the remote. I unplugged the Apple TV for 30 minutes and restarted. It is stuck on the main screen. I tried repairing the remote but it won’t respond. I tried using the remote on my phone but it won’t restart. Help!

Apple TV HD, tvOS 17

That seems like the remote navigation isn’t functional, but the box is fine.

I tried repairing the remote but it won’t respond.

Did you do it like this?

Reconnect the Siri Remote to Apple TV - Apple Support

Else try the other remote troubleshooting steps:

If your Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote isn't working - Apple Support

↳ charging the remote battery for at least 30 minutes

↳ restarting just the remote


I tried using the remote on my phone but it won’t restart.

But are you able to navigate with the software remote?
