Too many remotes

Hi Folks,


I have just set up my new Apple TV and this works well... BUT, the new ATV remote also works the iMac at the same time, sending the iMac into a frenzy of volume changes, suddenly launching iTunes and Front Row etc, everytime I point the remote at the Apple TV.


Now, I see that I can pair the ATV to only accept input from the new remote, but is there also a way to pair the iMac with it's own (old white) remote, so that it will only accept input from that one, and not the new ATV remote anymore ?


Cheers,

David.
