If you live in a house with multiple Apple TVs, you know that it can be a pain to ensure you have access to the right content in each room. Fortunately, manually managing which apps are available is a laborious task that you can completely skip thanks to One Home Screen.
Built into tvOS, One Home Screen allows you to keep all your Apple TV Home screens in sync automatically by simply signing into iCloud on each device. Any changes you make on any Apple TV will automatically occur on your others, too. Here's how to set it up.
