Help with Apple TV Settings

Apple TV main menu screen.

Continue Watching.

I truly do not understand Continue Watching.

Start watching: S1E1 of any show from any streaming app.

Pause watching show and power off Apple TV.

Return and power on Apple TV.

Show S1E1 of program paused; Continue Watching does not show S1E1 but

shows S1E2 and plays that episode instead of playing remainder of S1E1.

Should it not continue with S1E1?

Why does it jump to next episode when not even finished watching first episode?

Any help/suggestions appreciated.

That is not normal behaviour. If paused in the middle of an episode it will show the progress bar and how much time is remaining. The only time it may jump to the next episode is if it was close to the end.

If you notice that this issue occurs on a continual basis first try a reboot and ensure TVOS is up to date

(Version 27) and then contact Apple support.
