Slow response to remote

My Apple TV is slow to response if at all to remote access. I’ve tried to turn it off/unplug but no change. Same with my phone remote. It is not the remote as it works fine with the cable tv and other functions normally.

- re-pair or re-link the remote with the Apple TV. If your Apple TV remote isn’t working - Apple Support

- check for obstructions in the line of sight between the remote and the Apple TV box.

- for the bluetooth Siri remote, consider sources of interference.
