Help! After updating to the latest tvOS version, Apple has installed an "Apple TV" app that will now start whenever I press the Home button. How do I turn it off?
Unfortunately, Apple has changed the behavior of all Apple TVs with a software update. If you now press the Home button of the Siri Remote, then the "Apple TV" app starts instead of returning to the home screen. You can argue about the benefits of the "Apple TV" app for a long time. The easiest way is to change the home button back to the old behavior.
To return to the old procedure (Home-Button = Home-Screen), proceed as follows:
There you can assign the Home button again with the old function.

How to fix this issue
Recently, root certificates for "Let's Encrypt" expired. Apple has decided not to update root certificates for OS X versions older than macOS 10.12. This means that when apps or Safari on your Mac access websites using Let's Encrypt root certificates, they will not load correctly.
This can also cause problems when logging in to the app.
How to fix this issue
- Open Safari, go to https://equinux.github.io and download the fix
- Open the profile in System Preferences and choose "Install"
- Re-launch the app and sign in again
