How to force restart the new Apple TV

With any device that runs software, be it a smartphone, tablet, or computer, sometimes the easiest way to fix an issue is to restart the device.

Apple’s latest set-top box is no different. We’ve already shown you how to force-close problematic apps using a multitasking interface that’s reminiscent of iOS 8. But if you find your Apple TV is suffering from poor overall performance, you can try restarting the device by going Settings > System > Restart.

Alternatively, if the device is unresponsive you can use the Apple TV remote to force restart the unit.

To force restart the new Apple TV, press and hold both the Menu and Home buttons. (The Home button has the silhouette of a TV or monitor on it.)
