For the last several years I have been able to use my Sony TV remote to operate my Apple TV Box using the HDMI 2 port. Suddenly last night it stopped working. We did have storms in the area and lost power but I rebooted all devices afterwards. The Apple TV Box still works and can be operated by the Apple TV remote but I prefer to use the Sony remote. Any suggestions?

UPDATE: Sony TV Remote Working Again With Apple TV 😀
On your Sony remote, press the gear button to go to your Sony TV’s Settings menu. Then select the following:
External Inputs —> Cable/Satellite box setup —> Cable/Satellite box control setup —> control with TV remote
Then just follow the prompt (I believe it’ll eventually ask you “Which HDMI is your cable box?” Select whichever HDMI input your AppleTV is connected). And that’s it!
I do notice some differences when pressing the “123” button on the remote then “Apple TV controls.” Options such as “Top Menu” is gone and now the options for me are “Options, VOD, DVR, List, Favorites, Display, Last, Live TV.” Everything except for Options and Display are new and wasn’t an option before.
Note that I don’t have a cable box set up anywhere. So I’m thinking if you do have one, there might be an issue.
That worked for me also. Is a little slow, but effective. Thank you.
You’re welcome. Glad it’s now working for you.
Mine just randomly started working again. 🤷🏼♂️
Accessing the external input configuration as above worked for me, thanks so much!
It worked! Thanks a lot
Same here with sony a80l started days ago…
