Anyone else running tvOS 17.2 beta and seeing this issue? If I turn off Siri, pressing the Siri button at all brings up the search. Seems dictation is just not working in 17.2 beta. Have since turned off beta updates so that I just get the stable release, but would like to see if anyone has found a solution before I talk to Apple support.
I was having a problem where dictation wasn’t working in the search field alphabet, it would just bring up the full Siri search. Instead of holding the Siri button when a letter is highlighted like you used to, just press and release. That seems to have fixed my issue.
