I never noticed this before because I primarily use HDHomeRun via Plex, but after setting up a HomeAssistant automation I noticed that I could go into HDHomeRun's settings to disable the Live TV Slice Guide and the Grid Guide would be the default which shows a preview on the top right corner of what is on the highlighted TV channel. I actually prefer this over the slice guide on my Apple TV 4k 3rd Gen WiFi A2737 MN873LL/A. However, when I went to make the same change on my Apple TV 4k 2nd Gen WiFi + Ethernet A2169 MXH02LL/A the option to turn OFF the Live TV Slice Guide is missing completely. I noticed the Gen 3's HDHomeRun app was on version 20260822 and the Gen 2's HDHomeRun app was on version 20260817 so I figured it was a new feature. I tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling, which only lead me to installing a cached older version 20260324, but after reinstalling it I was able to get version 20260817 back. Searching forums and troubleshooting with Ai, I realized this is not a new feature, but some sort of bug with my 2nd Gen Apple TV 4k. Are there any conditions required for this option to appear? Is anyone else having this issue? I plan on contacting support, but I also couldn't find much on this issue online so I figured I'd post it myself. Hopefully someone from HDHomeRun reaches out to me here to show how to resolve this issue.
TL:DR
Live TV Slice Guide ON/OFF button is missing on the 2nd Gen WiFi + Ethernet Apple TV 4K, but shows up on 3rd Gen WiFi Apple TV 4K
