Apple today released tvOS 16.4, the fourth major point update to the tvOS 16 operating system that came out last September. Available for the Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD, tvOS 16.4 comes two months following the release of tvOS 16.3.
The tvOS 16.4 update can be downloaded over the air through the Settings app on the Apple TV by going to System > Software Update. Apple TV owners who have automatic software updates turned on will be upgraded to tvOS 16.4 automatically.
tvOS updates are often minor in scale, focusing on internal bug fixes and improvements rather than outward-facing changes. The 16.4 update adds a Dim Flashing Lights option that is meant to dim the display when there are flashes of light or strobe effects.
This update adds Dim Flashing Lights, an accessibility option to automatically dim the display of video when flashes of light or strobe effects are detected, and includes performance and stability improvements.
Apple shares information on tvOS releases in its tvOS support document, which is updated after each tvOS launch.

In my mind that's gotta be the least-offensive upsell that Apple has ever offered. :p
For $20 you get an Ethernet port, a Thread radio, and double the storage. That's really not bad.
Though I gotta wonder why Apple even made the "normal" version in the first place. If they only offered the "good" model at $149, that's still cheaper than the previous generation which started at $179.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hopefully this finally fixes it.
I hope this update makes it all work again like it did with 15.
