HDR doesn't work on Live TV

My PBS station recently added HDR to their ATSC 3.0 broadcast, but I am noticing the Apple TV app does not start the stream in HDR. If I record the show that is airing and start playback from my library, it plays in HDR just fine.

For reference, My Apple TV is setup to be in SDR mode and auto-switch to HDR using the 'match content' setting. I have noticed this works fine with the Android TV app, so it seems to be a platform specific issue.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this
