IR Sensor

[moe-jiller]

Anyone know where the front face IR Sensor is on the latest Apple TV 4K unit?

 

[Mr.Blacky]

What front face IR sensor? Why should there be a front face IR sensor? 🤔

What ever the sensor is called that receives the signal from the remote.

I thought they were bluetooth?

It's called "bluetooth". 😉

I know for sure that the first gen ATV 4k box has an IR sensor; otherwise, my Harmony IR remote and 3rd Gen Apple TV remote would not work with the unit.

Live and learn. I don't use secondary remotes and rarely point the controller and often use the iPad or phone.

I always thought it was Bluetooth as well until I decided to try my 3rd Gen remote with my ATV 4k.
