Apple TV won’t update to os 16.2

I have an Apple TV 4K 1st gen running OS 15.6. When I try to update to 16.2, it stops and says it didn’t update and try again later. But then I see it’s in the process of updating or redownloading all my streaming apps. I have tried this several times, and it does the same thing. What’s up?

Apple TV Continue Watching is not Updating after OS18 update? I have an 2 older Apple TV's, the model that was prior to the 4K Apple TV, and a 3rd 4K AppleTV After the OS 18 update, the 2 older AppleTV's are not updating the "continue working" on the AppleTV Home Screen. The 4K is working fine, but not the 2 older models.... I actually reset the AppleTV to default factory settings, and re-set / signed in with Apple ID, etc. Still won't work. Is there a fix for this, or do I have to bite the bullet and buy a new 4K Apple TV?

Apple TV 4k gen1 will not update from tvOS12 to tvOS18. We have 52 ATV's gen1 in our school district that will not update from tvOS12 to tvOS18. We have jumped through all the usual workflows to resolve but nothing is successful. Hotspots, ethernet, wifi, resets, reset and updates and even apple configurator 2 connections for updates are all unsuccessful to get to tvOS18. Might there be a fix in tvOS18.3?

Scratch that. Rebooted and got it to update.
