Ever since updating a white dot is showing up in the top-right corner of the TV screen. Is this a bug or my TV just got a dead pixel? It must be software, coz I’m only seeing it when watching shows on Apple TV!
Thanks for sharing. Yes, this appears to be a tvOS 17 beta bug. Open Control Center and close it right back to get rid of the dot. More details here:
