Unable to connect to Generation 2 Apple TV remote after update

Old Apple Remote app moved to new Apple Remote location but does not talk to Apple TV and I have no remote that I can sync since it was previously synced to another remote so I am locked out.

If you have an Apple TV (2nd generation) without remote,

then you’ll need to buy a replacement remote, and link that remote to the box.


The software remote in Control Center isn’t compatible with the older 2nd generation.
