Has anyone had any luck pairing a Bluetooth keyboard to the new Apple TV? I can't use Siri on the Remote as I have a speech impediment and a keyboard is my only option. Thanks.
Apple TV (4th generation), iOS 9.0.1, null
The ATV4 does not currently work with Bluetooth keyboards. You can search for items using the built-in 'keyboard' though it's a pretty clumsy process.
Hopefully Apple will rectify this on the next update. Thanks for the quick response.
Just as a point of reference. The Apple TV 3 did not have keyboard support when I first bought it. There were three to four firmware updates before keyboard support was added to both Apple TV 2 & 3. Also, there is no guarantee that Apple TV 4 will ever have keyboard support. You will just have to be patient.
Send feedback to Apple. http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html.
Have a nice day.
Hi tenpoundmouse,
I am not sure if you have an iOS device or not but you can use the "remote" app on say an iphone or ipad to give you a touchscreen keyboard for search. It's not a great solution but it's better than no keyboard at all.
You can learn how to setup the remote app with your apple tv here:
