Q: Trouble accessing Apple TV
The silver remote for my Apple TV (Basement) stopped working (some time ago), changed battery several times to no avail. Was not a problem as I used an App on my iPad as the remote. Well, we replaced our wifi router recently and now Apple TV (Basement) doesn't show up on my iPad app anymore??? LOL, I have no way to access it enter the new router information. So, this silver remote has long been lost (eaten by the couch cushions no doubt) and is not available.
Now, we do have another Apple TV upstairs (Family Room). It's silver remote still works and I was able to update that device to the new router. Is there a way to hijack this remote (again, for the Family Room Apple TV) to wake up the Apple TV (Basement)?
Any ideas on how I can communicate with Apple TV (Basement)?
Thank you!
