Apple today seeded the first beta of an upcoming tvOS 16.3 update to developers for testing purposes, with the beta coming one day after the launch of tvOS 16.2.

I have been dealing with this since the moment I upgraded to tvOS 14. No update has resolved the issue. I was hoping the new Home architecture would help, but it didn't. It's maddening.
Same here, tried to upgrade the architecture and not a single one has come out the configuring stage. They keep asking for the password. 😔
Do you have more than one ATV? Could be a placement issue, but it should be pretty hard to put it somewhere that it would disconnect that often.
HomeKit is currently broken in some critical ways. Many of my automations stopped working or started behaving strangely with the 16.0 update. After upgrading to the new architecture and re-creating the problematic automations… they still don’t work right.
I have a second, very old (pre app store), ATV right on the other side of the wall from the one giving me trouble. Maybe I'll try unplugging it.
