pairing Samsung tv remote to Apple TV box

this worked for me when i restarted the apple tv 4k box so go to settings and system and then just restart the box!

Thank you, my Samsung remote now works again with Apple TV.

I found a resolution for this issue. Apparently the device can unregister itself without notice and needs to be re-registered. Here is a link to the Samsung page where you find instructions on how to re-register the remote. Once I did this, my remote worked with the Apple TV again. Finally. Hope this helps those having issues with using a Samsung remote with your Apple TV.

Unfortunately this fix didn’t work for me. I got up to the part where it asks if the test turns my Apple TV on or off but it didn’t. I tried it 20 times. I even tried looking up my Apple model # on the next screen but it wouldn’t come up. Any other ideas?

Try deleting the universal control setup for the apple tv and connecting the hdmi on the HDMI(eARC) and using the controller without set up.

Regrettably no. I basically cannot use the Apple TV without a second remote. Mostly that means I use the apps available on Samsung.

Thanks for the suggestion. No dice I’m afraid.

Glad it worked for you.

Can’t find the instructions?

Glad it helped you.

I’m experiencing the EXACT same thing! My Samsung remote operated my Apple TV, until yesterday!

apple! Fix this!

they are forcing you to use the Apple Remote… annoying!

I’ll try this…
