tvOS and Apple TV Apps

Hello,

I am runnign the latest version of TVOS and suddenly I am no longer able to navigate up or down when VoiceOver is on. This is on an Apple TV 4K. Follow focus and direct touch are also no longer in my router and when I go to settings/accessibility/VoiceOver and change navigation from follow focus or direct touch, nothing happens. I have also restarted the Apple TV with no luck. Any ideas?
