Designed for the fourth and fifth-generation Apple TV models, the new tvOS 13.4.8 beta can be downloaded onto the Apple TV through a profile that's installed using Xcode.
tvOS updates are generally minor in scale, focusing on under-the-hood bug fixes and improvements instead of major outward-facing changes. There's no word on what's included in tvOS 13.4.8 as of yet.
While we don't often know what's new in tvOS during the beta testing process, we let MacRumors readers know when new updates are available so developers can download it on release.

(View all)Apple's biggest spend customers get hit with this bug….one would think that would be worth fixing after a year and a half.
Just a wish list, but I would love to see support for FaceTime (via external camera), better switching between users, and a more seamless integration of streaming and local content. Plus, in an alternate universe I would also be able to play my TV sound through stereo Echo devices!What is everyone hoping to get out of a new model? Just wondering because I have a 4K ATV, and I don’t know what they could add/improve that would make me buy a new one.
The main thing I'd like is a better remote. I can't tell which is the top of the remote in the dark. I'd also like a few more buttons like up/down/left/right and OK. Would make using it so much easier instead of swiping all the time.What is everyone hoping to get out of a new model?

Seems only reason they release these updates is because every other product gets an update, hell might as well change version number and push one out for AppleTV.When was the last time a meaningful update occurred on the tv? Seems that nearly all updates are due to underlying code base updates only.
