Q: How do you pair the remote app on iOS to the Apple TV (4th generation)?

I'm having trouble using the apple remote app on iOS 9.2 (iPad mini 4 and iPhone 6+).  It says to turn on home sharing but that is already on as far as I can tell. Can someone suggest what I should try next?

    Make sure you have dowloaded the latest software update for your ATV. Only the latest update is compatible with the Remote App for iDevices.

     

    If you already have the latest update for the ATV then try turning off "home sharing" from within the remote app on your iDevice (under "settings"). Restart the app and turn on "home sharing" again.

     

    See if either of these help.
