Apple Watch Remote app fails to pair with Apple 4K TV (not fitness)
The basic instructions fail here. I see the code ready to type in on my watch face. I have the apple tv on the page that says "...hold it close to this Apple TV".
It doesn't matter how close or how long the watch is held there displaying the code that the Apple TV should start displaying or whatever - the Apple TV does nothing. I can leave the watch in that state right on top of the device - nothing happens. Holding it any any side or angle for 60 seconds at a whack does nothing.
I have restarted both watch and tv; they live on the same network and have all network things enabled and correctly configured for every other operation on both devices.
My iPhone paired properly as did another older iPhone.
The watch is a new Series 6. The Apple TV is the slightly older 4k
