Good to know

  • MODE 1090 only handles Back while details are visible; from the radar-only view, Back keeps its normal tvOS behavior.
  • The aircraft-photo QR code points to the credited source page; scan it with another device.
  • Apple TV does not contain Collection, account, backup or Sky Scanner.
  • Available platform functions in the current TV app do not show a separate Premium gate.
If the result looks different, open Settings > Help and send the visible status together with device, operating system and app version.
