Need help no Apple TV remote

If your on the same network the remote app should work. The apple tv can also learn pretty much any remote but you need a remote to make your way to that part of the settings.
I am on the same network, when i open the app on my iphone, nothing shows up
I'm thinking you will need a physical remote to turn it on and navigate to the Home Sharing option to log in so that you can get the Remote.app on the iPhone to "see" it and use it.
How would you get the ATV on your network without being able to control it and telling it what network to connect to. Your iphone remote app wouldn't be able to connect to the ATV because you haven't been able to get into the ATV settings. Am I wrong?
that is what I was trying not to do, but I just ordered one at best buy, looks like I had a $5 reward certificate set to expire today.
If you have a remote from an apple computer, they work as well in a pinch. Doesn't have to be the shiny silver one for the Apple TV.
Thank you for all the help, now i just need to figure out if it s jailbroken or not, the seller stated it was "modified" but was not sure if it was jailbroken, he said a friend modified it for him, it does have the "apple tv" symbol on the bottom right but all the movie info is in Chinese or japanese. Any advice?
