In conjunction with macOS Mojave Apple has also released a minor maintenance update for the Apple TV and Apple TV 4K, tvOS 12.0.1.
If an Apple TV isn't configured to download updates automatically, tvOS 12.0.1 can be forced by opening the Settings app, then selecting System, Software Updates, and finally "Update Software."
It's so far unknown what's new in the software. Accompanying notes are empty, implying that it at best provides minor bug and security fixes.
tvOS 12 was originally released earlier this month. The upgrade brought long-delayed Dolby Atmos surround sound, as well "zero sign-on," allowing some people authenticate a cable provider without typing in credentials.
The software also enabled third-party remotes, password AutoFill, and smaller enhancements like NASA screensavers.

I was surprised and thrilled to see my screen screensaver come up as an outer space view of the earth! Very cool.
I HOPE this makes the HomePod audio output selection "permanent" like I thought iOS 12.0 was supposed to do.
Should we just stop posting screenshots of Sky?
It's been over a year and no games take advantage of the AppleTV 4K yet. I give up.
anyone else have the issue when Automatic Download Update is toggled on, and it does not automatically update...every time i have to go in an manually do the update
