What type of IR extender works with Apple TV 4K?

What type of IR extender will be compatible with an Apple TV 4k? There is no USB port on the 4k so this causes some troubles.


Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Since you can get some functionality over infra-red (for example using the old Apple remote) any mains-powered IR extender, such as the Powermid for example, should work as long as it's IR in at one end and out at the other. Obviously you have to place them within sight of the remote in one case and the ATV in the other.
