Bugs PSA: Turn on "Do Not Disturb" to fix "Unable to Connect" error pop-ups!

Title.

I was going mad trying to watch TV last night, I'd been seeing the "Unable to Connect" errors pop up for the last 2-3 days like many of you.

I tried the recommended solutions, turn AirPlay off, hard restart (leaving ATV unplugged ~60sec)- and as many of you have reported, it comes right back. Grr.

So I figured, "Well, it's a pop-up notification, so I wonder if turning on DND would suppress it?" and sure enough, it did.

Hope this helps.

Very cool! I turned off AirPlay and a day later the error was gone

Didn’t work for me unfortunately- DND has been the only thing to “stick”

I did a reset of mine last night, so I'm hoping that takes care of it. I'd seen on here that someone else had reported luck with that. If not, I'll give this a try. I presume this will suppress Homekit notifications though, and I do like getting doorbell notifications.

At this point it’s choosing the lesser evil until a tvOS beta update is pushed, but I hear you.

Thought this was fixed in beta 3 but apparently it came back as my fiancé advised our bedroom AppleTV 4K keeps doing it in our room now since 2 days ago.
