My Apple TV in the Bluetooth mode keeps searching for devices but never lists them. All of the devices I would like to pair have discovered the Apple TV (Peloton and MAC computer) and gives a pair code, but the Apple TV never displays any devices to pair with. I have already restarted the Apple TV and made sure all devices are on the same internet. Would love some advice!

Mac does not pair with Apple TV over Bluetooth, you would need to use Airplay to stream content. As for other devices, if you are using an older Apple TV model then can only pair with BT keyboards. You would need to make sure you have an Apple TV HD (4th gen) or 4K (5th gen) in order to pair with others.

I would like to project my Peloton screen onto my Tv via my Apple TV. The peloton discovers the Apple TV and gives me a pair code. The Apple TV however does not find the peloton and just keeps searching when I am in Bluetooth mode. It does not provide me with a pair code entry option. I have restarted the Apple TV and have made sure that both the Peloton and Apple TV are on the same internet. Not sure why the Apple TV will not pair with the Peloton.
