Apple tv setup without remote I just factory reset my apple tv using my computer. I lost my remote but can not continue setting up my tv. I wanted to use my iphone but I need to put in a code from my phone into the tv but that is not possible because I can not navigate through my apple tv. What should I do?

Pairing Apple TV with iphone remote Hi, I lost my Apple TV remote and want to use the one available on my iPhone in Control Center, but I am unable to pair it. When I try, I need to type the 4-digit code (that pops up on the iPhone screen) on the Apple TV itself, but I obviously can’t do that without a remote... Any tips on how to solve this? Thanks!

Set up the Apple TV Remote on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Both devices have to be on the same home network already.

No need to reset anything.
