Fast forward and rewind on remote

The FF and Rewind functionality has stopped on my remote. The light responds, but no action. Ideas?

Hello SJB7777,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are having some issues with your Apple TV remote. Right? Try the following steps from If your Apple TV remote isn't working.


1. If you have a Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote, charge it for 30 minutes using a Lightning to USB cable and a USB wall charger. If you have an Apple Remote, replace the battery
2. Unplug your Apple TV from the wall power outlet. Wait at least six seconds, then plug it back in.
If your remote still isn't working as expected, follow the steps for your type of remote. After each step, see if you still need help.


If you still need help after those steps, find the section from that article that corresponds with your remote to proceed.


Take care.
