Nov 6, 2015 3:17 PM in response to lkruppby jwhitt,The user manual contains instructions:
“Connect Bluetooth devices to Apple TV
You may want to connect a Bluetooth device to your Apple TV—such as an MFi-certified (made for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad) game controller, Bluetooth headphones, or other accessories.
Find a nearby Bluetooth device. Refer to the device’s instructions to set the device to “Discoverable.” Then in Settings , go to “Remotes and Devices” > Bluetooth and select the device in the list.

Nov 6, 2015 3:27 PM in response to bradynlitsterby jwhitt,I have the same problem. 3 wireless keyboards and one is an Apple, none will pair with my new Apple TV. Also I see the new Apple tv is not available through the Remote App on my iPhone. So it seem Apple TV shipped before it was ready for prime time. Steve would not be happy.

They've improved text entry with the new remote and clickable screen letters, so a Keyboard is no longer needed. You can enter lower case, upper case and numbers with the magic remote.
In the words of Obi-wan, these aren't the bluetooth keyboards you're looking for. Go about your business. -
