Apple TVAs an alternative to the supplied remote, you can have the Apple TV learn a remote or use the 'Remote' app on an iOS device or configure a bluetooth keyboard, however in all cases you will need the supplied remote to set these up, so if you don't already have any of these options up and running you will need to purchase another remote from the Apple Store.
