Apple TV remote weirdness

[VelvetElegance]

Hi Folks,
I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with my remote. The battery seems to be ok. I'm not getting a low battery indicator on my screen at all. My remote has all functionality EXCEPT arrow right. When I hit the button, the light flashes on the Apple TV, but it doesn't respond. Has anyone every heard of this. I know I can use my iPhone as a workaround, but I would really rather use the remote.

You need a new remote. Same thing happened to me. Light flashes but no response. Changed the battery, reset, cycle the power, etc...

Purchased a new remote and works like a charm!

couple things to try, can't hurt.

try changing the ID of the remote, hit center and menu for about 5 seconds.

try unpairing the remote, hit menu and left for about 5 seconds.

try pairing the remote, hit menu and right for about 5 seconds.


or maybe paring then unparing.

The Apple TV can learn another remote. An old dvd remote gives you extra buttons too.

You could also download the "remote" app and use and iOS device.
