My apple TV remote had been working fine, now it will not pair. I get the message saying to bring the remote closer to the ATV to pair, then after a few seconds it says 'remote connected' but as soon as I press a button, it just repeats that I need to bring the remote closer to pair. I just charged the remote overnight, no change.
Apple TV 4, tvOS 12
The closest possible position that should work to complete the pairing, is laying the remote on top of the Apple TV.
