I just spent 20 minutes trying to find the Apple TV remote. All the remote finder feature did was give vague signals on if the remote is nearby or far. Why has the TV been such an after thought for Apple? It’s also frustrating that I can’t set my soundbar as the default audio output.
Where did it go that it took 20 minutes to find it? If mine is not immediately visible on my couch or on the table next to the couch, then it fell in the couch cushions. I know this because I only use it the couch. Why would I remove it from the room where the TV is?
The posts about losing the remote are insane to me. I’ve never lost my remote. Even times when I don’t immediately see it, I know it’s under a cushion or pillow by one couch.
its always underneath me. Drives me crazy.
Must be nice to be perfect
Jk I use my remote to control music all the time and leave it all over the place 😹
Why would you use your remote which can only control the volume instead of using your phone that can control the volume and the music? If you are using the remote, you have to be in the room with the TV to see the screen.
My Apple TV uses a Sonos Beam for sound and while the remote controls the volume the Apple Remote “app” does not.
My TV is in a room where I can watch from the couch, side room, kitchen, or even outside on the deck. I usually know where I’ve left the remote though only really having to search for it once in a while.
I also sometimes carry my remote into the kitchen, but I put a glow in the dark case on it to help find it which sometimes helps
Clearly you don’t have kids.
People reply with this anytime this topic comes up but it was never an issue for me. They left the remote sitting right where they used it which is on the couch or 6 inches in front of the tv.
That comment implies young kids
