Two Apple TV - Remotes works with both at the same time

Just bought the Apple TV 4, that means that I moved my old version 3 Apple TV to the bedroom, now when I'm using one remote both Apple TV react. How can I pair the remote for the right Apple TV, to prevent them from interfering?

Try this:

Unpair silver remote with ATV3 by pressing menu and left for 6 seconds.

Block the ATV3 front and pair the silver remote with the ATV4 by pressing menu and right for 5 seconds.

Block both ATVs front and press menu and the center select button for 5 seconds

Unblock ATV4 and verify it does not respond to the silver remote.

Block the ATV4 and unblock the ATV3 and pair pressing menu and right for 5 seconds.

Verify the ATV3 now responds.

Remove the block from the ATV4.
