It’s not likely to be caused by the remote and might be static electricity being dispelled from the body from friction. It can happen in colder climates when the heat is on too.

I would also worry about whatever the cable was plugged into the cable can't transfer higher volt AC power without the ac charger leaks the mains into the cable, the normal charging volt is 5volts DC it's not enough to feel, heck you need a 9volts battery to feel the volts and even then only when you stick it on your tongue, so if you can feel current in the alu remote without wet fingers the volts is a lot higher

sounds like the cable and ac charger is leaking ac power, I would stop using both it's not safe

Changed cable still happens remote must have short but works when plugged in only.

time for new remote.

The shock is real and comes when plugged in and you get within 3 inch’s to get remote linked if your touching the Apple TV I get a shock from the remote. Not Static … the remote does not hold a charge any longer after3 years and only works when plugged in.

this is a seriously defect. A battery short should not shock you
