AppleTV Bluetooth Connection Limit

There is currently a limit of 3 bluetooth connections. How can this be increased? Is this a possible software enhancement or is it a hardware limitation?

It should be added the possibility wich allows users to turn off remote control or airpods if it needs for connecting more other Bluetooth controllers or devices. I don’t need to connect my AirPods or some other audio devices to Apple TV but I need to connect three cycling sensors (cadence, speed, heart rate monitor). What’s the problem Apple? Do it possible!

Initially you said it was Bluetooth and then that you were connecting over wifi, if it’s the latter then you aren’t using Bluetooth.


Again, in terms of Bluetooth there’s a big difference between pairing multiple Bluetooth devices (which has been possible for awhile) and using them simultaneously (requires BT 5 compatibility on both ends). Furthermore, Apple didn’t create the bluetooth protocol and add new technology once it has become mainstream (similar to the AC wifi standard)


At any rate this is more an issue with the sensors themselves in relation to theIr use with Apple TV, and you need to contact the company about it.
