Apple TV won't turn on by remote When my Apple TV is in sleep mode and I try to turn it back on with the remote, it doesn't turn on. No matter what button I press. I can use Siri and say "turn on the TV" and that works, but the remote and remote app don't. I tried restarting the TV, but no difference was made.

All modern TVs switch to sleep mode/standby, and not really turn off. Unless you use a physical on|off switch on the TV, or disconnect the power cord. No remote can change that.
