Apple TV Remote disconnecting when I move away from the TV
My Apple TV will show "Remote Disconnected" When I move 5 feet away from the TV and the remote will not work until I get next to the Apple TV Again
Apple TV 4K, tvOS 16
Hello Thebetsgaming24!
For issues with the Apple TV remote unexpectedly disconnecting, I’d recommend trying the following steps:
- Ensure that tvOS is fully updated: Update your Apple TV
- Disconnect Apple TV from power by unplugging it. Then, reconnect and test things out again.
- Leave the Siri Remote charging overnight, and test again the following day.
- Help to rule out any interference by ensuring the Apple TV isn't enclosed in a cabinet, or behind the TV display
If you continue to have issues after trying the above steps, I would recommend following up with Apple Support directly: Get Support.
