How to download tvOS 11.4.1 public beta 1 to your Apple TV

Want to see what's going with tvOS 11.4.1? The public beta is now available. Here's how to download it!

Apple occasionally offers updates to iOS, watchOS, tvOS, and macOS as closed developer previews or public betas for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac (sadly, no public beta for the Apple Watch). While the betas contain new features, they also contain pre-release bugs that can prevent the normal use of your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, or Mac, and are not intended for everyday use on a primary device. That's why we strongly recommend staying away from developer previews unless you need them for software development, and using the public betas with caution. If you depend on your devices, wait for the final release.

tvOS 11.4.1 is coming later this year, though Apple has yet to say anything about it. Ahead of its arrival, Apple is letting interested users check it out beforehand with a public beta.

If you're interested in trying out the tvOS 11.4.1 public beta, just sign on up for Apple's Beta Software program and ready your device.
