Lost Apple TV remote, how can I use app if the home sharing is not already enabled?

I lost my Apple TV remote so I can't change the settings on the tv. Is there a way to use the remote app on my ipad without having the actual hardware remote to program the tv?

The remote app requires home sharing to be enabled and both to be on the same network. Since that's not the case you will have to purchase a new remote.
