Voice is missing from AppleTV

Hey guys. I have a problem that is really getting on my nerves. After a software update, not exactly sure which one, a lot of voices mysteriously disappeared from my Apple TV. The default versions of all of the voices are still available, but the enhanced ones have gotten up and left. This only seems to be affecting US English. Weirdly, Allison, Nathan, and Samantha don’t appear to be affected. The reason it’s getting on my nerves is because my favorite voice is one of the broken ones. Any ideas on how I can fix this annoying little nuisance of a problem.

Hi

First, rebooting the system should bring the full list back.

Bad news no enhanced or premium voice will work if you want to watch anything. It will just keep talking during playback. If you try and turn it off, it will just turn itself back on again. Apple are aware of the problem but don’t seem to care enough to fix it. In the latest update, you can’t even ask SIRI for the time anymore.
