Hello Cliff, Thank you for your reply but your instructions do not work in the latest release of Apple TV OS; at least, they do not on my device.
In the latest release, it is not possible to switch between navigation styles via the rotor as it was before the latest release. As I said in my previous post, the only place where one can select the navigation style is Settings > Accessibility > Navigation. I hope I am wrong about this. If so, please provide step-by-step instructions on how to switch between navigation styles on the fly.

I know I have never had an issue with it. Anyway, if you insist using follow focus, the thing you will have to do when you want to swipe up, is put the remote in navigation mode. To do this triple tap with 2 fingers on the track pad area of the remote. Once you do this VoiceOver should say navigation mode. Then turn it to direct touch, and swipe up, repeat the steps to turn it off. HTH Come checkout the SturItUp Podcast where we discuss: Sports, Technology, and Christian family everyday life.
