I’m wondering how to pair a new remote control with an older Apple TV that used a touch screen remote. I could not find a video on the internet to perform this function?
Here’s the pairing instructions from Apple:
If your Apple TV remote isn't working - Apple Support
The Siri Remote is compatible with Apple TV (4th generation or later).

How do I pair a new Siri Remote with my existing Apple TV?
1. Turn on Apple TV and position the Siri Remote so it’s within 3 to 4 inches (8 to 10 cm) and pointing at the front of the Apple TV 4K/HD.
2. Press and hold the Back button (“<“) and Volume Up button ("+") buttons for 3 seconds.
3. When the Siri Remote is successfully paired, an onscreen message appears.
When you pair a remote, any other previously paired remote is automatically unpaired.
Sometimes, you may be asked to place the remote on top of the Apple TV while pairing, but the process is otherwise automatic. If your Apple TV isn’t detecting the remote, try charging the remote for 10 minutes and try again. If your Siri remote still isn't working.
Can you use the new apple remote control with an older Apple TV box that used the touch screen remote control?
