I have an older apple tv box and haven't used it for some time. We have a different TV and I am trying to set it up again, we lost the apple tv box remote but replaced it with same remote. Apple tv will come on screen but the remote won't work

The remote will not work with the apple tv box. When I press the button on remote the light blinks on box but won't let me go to setup in main menu. Please advise, thank you!
