This wouldn’t happen accidentally, as it requires manual pairing of the remote with the other box.

There is no unpairing option built-in, as Apple TV needs a remote.


- Normally, a newly paired replacement remote would replace the previous pairing, as only one remote can be paired at a time.

- A reset would remove the pairing, but also everything else, and you’d have to do the setup again.
