Q: charging my apple TV siri remote

Since the remote can be charged via usb by plugging into a computer, will the remote also charge if connected to any USB device that is plugged into power, i.e. the USB port on my Sony Tv or on my cable box? Thanks

Apple TV, iOS 9.3.2

    Yes, any powered USB port will charge, but not all USB ports are powered.

    It depends if the USB port supplies power. Not all USB ports supply power. You will need to check the specs of your Sony TV or Cable box USB port.

     

    You can also tell by observing the Apple TV screen when you plug the remote in to the USB port.

     

    On the Apple TV go to Settings > Remotes and Devices. If the remote is receiving a charge the icon will change from a battery with a charge level indicator to a battery with a lightening bolt in it indicating that it is charging.
