WARNING - With latest TVOS 17.4, when the REBOOT_FAULT_B or REBOOT_FAULT_C IR codes are sent to the ATV, it causes a complete reload of the Apple TV and you have to have an IPhone around as ATV asks you to enter a code on your IPhone to initiate the download.
Do NOT remove power to the ATV, otherwise, you will be left with a brick. If your ATV does not have a USB-C connector, there's no way to restore the OS.
When bricked, the blue light flashes normally and then goes into a brief fast-flash mode.
See this link.

That's a $150USD mistake I will not make again.
DO NOT REMOVE POWER once you start restoring your device, no matter how long it takes!!!!!
