I have the same issue. The problem is that my old Aluminum remote does not show up in the list of devices under Settings > Remotes and Devices > Bluetooth. In the meantime, I am putting a box in front of the apple TV 4 to block out the IR. I am wondering if there is a better solution. There is got to be a way to disable the old IR Aluminum remote in apple TV 4. Any ideas?
It won't, because it's not Bluetooth, it's infra-red. It's not clear how the old remotes pair: possibly you can pair a remote but not unpair it, so the only way would be to pair a remote which didn't operate the ATV3, assuming you could find one... in the meantime putting the box out of site or the old cardboard trick seems the only way forward. I've had to block other devices from remotes in the past and I keep some black card to do this, it's less obtrusive.
