LG Magic Remote and Apple TV

Is there any way to get the "Magic Remote" in an LG-OLED TV to control Apple-TV?

Howdy!


Using an OLED55B7P here. All I had to do was, on the LG Magic Remote, click the gear icon (to show Settings), then go "All Settings" > "General" > "SIMPLINK (HDMI-CEC)".


From there, just set it to "On", and it started working just fine with my Apple TV.


Note that you PROBABLY want to disable "Auto Power Sync" (also in the SIMPLINK config screen), otherwise, when you turn the TV off, it will also turn the Apple TV off.


Good luck!
