2 biggest new features for me: 1) Locating the remote by using your phone as the remote and then pressing find to open up a remote detector. 2) using your phone as the continuity camera and FaceTiming on the tv.
Tell me more about the FaceTime. How do I use the phone exactly? And link it to the tv?
Just open up the FaceTime app on your ATV and it will give you prompts to connect your phone and how to orient it. Once it’s connected, you just use the remote to manage calls
Thank you very much. Appreciate the help
Just to add, this is only available on the 2nd and 3rd generation 4K models.
Actually, FaceTime on Apple TV is exclusive to the 3rd generation 4K model only.

Yeah I’ve used it personally in my 2nd gen. It’s a cool feature, but that damn continuity prompt when your phones near a MacBook is insanely obnoxious. I have to keep it off until my kid needs to FaceTime the grandparents
