one Apple TV two appletv tv remotes?

[x-evil-x]

I have my Apple TV running to two seperate rooms tv's I want to get another remote for the living room. Can I use an extra appletv remote with the same appletv? having two paired at one time?

Yes you can. I'm still using a white remote that came with my old 2010 MB with my 4KATV plus the remote it came with.

The Home Button on my Amazon Fire Stick Remote has the ability to switch my ATV 4K on/switch to it as well for some strange reason.

you can only have 1 siri remote at a time.

you can use the old apple IR codes though, so any older apple remote will work, or a lot of smart remotes have the codes built in.

also your TV remote might be able to control the aTV via HDMI-CEC (it sends commands over the HDMI cable, and will depend on if your Television, and HDMI splitter support it.)

Ans then there are the iOS remote apps for iPhone/iPad.

Just tested this and it's true. I tried another 4KATV remote with the 4KATV that I am using the old white Apple remote with and only the remote that the ATV came with will control the ATV.

I can use the remote that came with my Samsung TV To control my ATV. I just use the control wheel to control everything and instead of the actual pause button on the remote, I use the center button as the pause button.

Which are great! If my wife has the remote (and she usually does), I just take my 8+ or iPad and change the station.
