Q: Can you reset appletv without using the remote?

My appletv is not responding to the usual reset keys on the remote.  Is there a way of resetting the box without having to use the remote?

    Howdy Windmill19,

     

    There are 3 different ways to restart an Apple TV. This article outlines all of them:

     

    How to restart your Apple TV

    Restart your Apple TV by selecting Settings > General > Restart.

    If you can't restart your Apple TV because it's unresponsive, try the following:

     

    • Hold down Menu and Down on the Apple Remote for six seconds, and then release when you see the indicator light on the Apple TV blink rapidly.
    • Unplug the Apple TV power cord for three seconds, and then plug it back in.

     

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    All the very best,

    Sterling
