Do you have line of sight between the remote and the ATV? Remember that it's IR, not Bluetooth like the Siri remote.
Got a tip for us?

yes, I do have line of sight. No obstructions, like when I use any other infrared remotes, which all work. Thanks. Any other hint?
Not worth it unless you have a samsung tv. It must work much better in Sweden where it is developed.
Has anyone ordered and received this unit from Function101? I am new to Apple TV and while I like it, the Siri remote is not my favorite.
I ordered this one because I thought it was the actual Salt version but apparently not. I am curious if this actually will work or this is one of those rip-off sites.
Thanks!

Yup. I’ve been using mine for a few weeks now. Works great for me and I have no complaints.
I don't really know. It's not a feature I use all that often.

Thanks. I had not seen an initial reference hence my question. While not a deal breaker it is a more modern feature of the ATV and it could come in handy for some.
Any verdicts on this remote now that is has been a few more months since the last post?
I was thinking of getting one or possibly giving one as a present so I can check it out before I buy one myself. I find the Apple TV remote is so jumpy in Apple Music with all the things it randomly decides to highlight.

I ended up not caring for it. It uses line-of-sight IR rather than bluetooth, so if you don't have line of sight to your devices you're out of luck. Also, I couldn't get it to control both my Apple TV and my Yamaha receiver, so it was useless for volume. It's... somewhere around here, I'm sure.
