Braille on Apple Products

I'm just curious if anyone has had any luck getting an apple tv to work with the nls reader braille display, or any braille display for that matter. I remember having this issue several years ago, and the rumor at that point was that it might be fixed in iOS 16. I kind of forgot about trying to use braille on my apple tv for a while, but yesterday, I decided to give it another try. Specifically, I t ried it with the very latest apple TV box which was released last year and TV OS 17. At least on the apple tv side of things, it claimed that the ereader was connected, but no braille was ever displayed, and on the ereader's side, the connection always fails. Am I I missing something, or is there st ill no meaningful braille support for the apple TV. Honestly, for the most part, I'd be far more likely to use Braille on the apple TV than I would on my phone. Thanks for any advice/suggestions any of you may have.
