Both Playlister & TVOS Update:

• • Leave your Apple TV on before Monday and connected to the internet
  • On Tuesday at 2:00 AM EST, your Apple TV will start updating
  • At 4:00 AM EST on Tuesday, your Apple TV should be updated
  • Once completed, the Apple TV can be turned off

To Manually Update a Pro-Kit:

What you'll need:

• Your Apple TV(s)
• The Apple TV's remote

Make sure:

• Your Apple TV(s) is connected to Wi-Fi or Ethernet because if the Apple TV isn't connected to the internet, the Playlister app won't automatically reinstall during the reset.
• Don't worry; if you have to switch the Wi-Fi, follow the steps below and make sure to enter the new Wi-Fi info.

Here are the steps to reset your Apple TV(s):

1. Hold down the Menu + Home (the TV button) buttons simultaneously until the light on the Apple TV starts flashing, and then release both buttons. This will cause the Apple TV to restart. 
2. Wait until the Apple TV boots, and you see the white screen again. Then repeat steps 1 and 2 (listed above) four more times. 
3. On the 5th boot, the Apple TV will be in Recovery Mode. 
4. Select the option that says "Reset All Settings." 
5. The Apple TV will restart and reconfigure itself.
6. During the reconfiguration, enter the Wi-Fi info (optional)
7. Playlister will automatically reinstall.
