No. To what purpose would you want that?

The legacy remotes use IR in a fixed color (frequency), as a property of the LED.

The Siri Remote uses Bluetooth for navigation, and IR for volume control.

The software remote on iPhone or iPad uses Wi-Fi.

I employ 5 apple TV's in my home and it seems on two of them (where the Apple TV unit is located out of sight behind the TV) that the remote isn't as responsive as it should be. I have altered the "touch serve tracking" to fast but the remotes seem to struggle. Thought there was some way to alter the frequency to improve response.

I see, thanks for elaborating. Possibly someone else on this forums has a new idea for you?
