What is your model Apple TV box? Identify your Apple TV model - Apple Support
What version system software (tvOS) is it running? 18.x? 26.x? 27.x?
Are you signed in for both Store services as well as for iCloud services? The latter is essential for accessing iCloud Photos in the Photos app.
Did you turn on iCloud Photos for your user account? This is a separate switch. Sync your iCloud photos on Apple TV 4K - Apple Support
