Can I connect Siri remote 1st gen with gyroscopes and accelerometer to Apple TV 4K 2nd gen to play Tennis, Bowling, Races, Just Dance games on my new "sophisticated" tv box?
I read that differently:
Did you try it?
My 2017 model is working fine, so I did not buy the 2021 model. I do have both models Siri Remote and and an Xbox game controller, though.
Individual games may have requirements that warrant a game controller. See the developer websites for each game. But the Siri Remote (1st generation) will work with the Apple TV 4K (2nd or 3rd generation) box. Call Apple if you seek verification.
Now I asked about 1st remote with gyroscope to connect to new ATV 2021 to play existing installed games.
I understand, and I think I’ve answered that. Is that not working for you?
Now you have to get your hands on one, if you don’t have a black Siri Remote (1st generation). There should be a few third party resellers (or private sellers) that still have a few (e.g. on Amazon, eBay). Apple doesn’t sell the 1st generation anymore.
You can pair one Siri Remote at a time. Pairing a replacement remote will unpair the previous remote. See here for pairing instructions: If your Apple TV remote isn't working - Apple Support.
Yes, you can. That will work just fine. The compatibility for the Siri Remote (1st generation) is listed as: Apple TV (4th generation or later).
I've bought ATV 2021 and can't play my favorite active games though they been installed on my new box. Now I asked about 1st remote with gyroscope to connect to new ATV 2021 to play existing installed games.
Thank you a lot for your replies.
Today I've bought 1st gen remote and paired it to Apple TV 4k 2021. And it works just fine!
The solution is found!
But strange that Apple doesn't make it clear enough for those who can't find how to play favorite games on new gen boxes.
PS. One more tip about new power button on the new remote. It doesn't add any additional feature comparatively to old remote buttons. But! It could make me happy if this power button could have learning function to turn on and off my projector!
As I can see in that list that Siri remote 2nd compatible with ATV 4K and later while Siri remote 1st marked as for ATV 4K and ATV HD.
Did you try it?
Why can't you just use the current Siri remote that came with AppleTV4K? Is it lacking a gyroscope and accelerometer? I never really even like the 1st gen remote but I don't play games on there.
