I've been looking around for newer updates to this question and usually find people talking from 2011.
So I'm assuming they're talk about Apple TV version 2.
I have an Apple TV 2 and an Apple TV 4 and am thinking on adding a second Apple TV 4.
Will there be an issue with the two apple tv 4 remotes interfering with the opposite Apple TV 4?
I ask because the new remotes are bluetooth and work through walls.
Drew
The bluetooth remotes are paired to the device, and the device only listens to the paired remote. In essence, each Apple TV will have its own remote.
The exception is the old style aluminum remote, which can also be used on the newer Apple TVs (through IR), even without linking specifically to that device. But those require line of sight.

Just went and picked up the new Apple TV4 and have an unrelated question.
The new remote has a white ring around the menu button whereas my old Apple tv 4 remote does not.
Any reason for that?
(I don't mind as it discerns which remote for which apple tv 4 so thats a plus)
Just wondering.
Drew
The remote with the white ring is the (slightly) updated model. Supposedly the white ring with the unique touch helps find the menu button in the semi-dark, and even helps with orientation on touch alone.
Exactly the information I was looking for.
