Does your TCL TV support HDMI-CEC? Is the option turned on on the TV? Is the Apple TV connected to an HDMI-CEC compatible HDMI port on the TV?

See your TV's user guide to find and enable the option and whether it has a specific port on which it supports or it.

TCL may call it "HDMI-Control" in its settings.
