[2nd Gen] aarooGo Remote Control for Apple TV 4K / HD Players A1294 A1218 A1378 A1427 A1625 A1842 w/TV Home & Volume Buttons

Go into this replacement knowing that this is not an exact replacement to the Apple remote. No voice feature, no swiping/sliding, BUT it has everything else! We've got volume up and down, we've got mute, we've got an easy turn off for the TV and the Apple TV, we've got easy navigation with up, down, left, right, and enter. We previously got a remote with just a few buttons and didn't realize we were not getting full functionality. This remote is not a 1:1 replacement for the Apple TV remote. To do that you'd have to shell out $70 for a new Apple TV remote 😜 But this is a great price of about $15 and does all the essential tasks. So happy we have this economically friendly option that's *almost* as good as the original.Also there was almost no setup, it just worked. Makes me wonder if someone could just buy a remote and mess with me from out our window but for my purposes of not messing with others, this works wonders.

It works fine with Apple TV 4K boxes and our not-smart (dumb) TVs. We have several TVs and most of the newer TVs worked just fine out of the box. Our older Sanyo TV needed the IR to be programmed manually. It is simple enough to do, you just have to work with it.- I pointed my TV remote to this remote 1" apart.- Press and HOLD the power + mute on this remote for a few seconds until the red LED turns on.- I then pressed the button I wanted to program (such as volume up) on the new remote.- Then (with the new remote ready), on the original TV remote pressed the button i wanted it to mimic (volume up). I found it best to do this in a darker-lit room and block interference of the light from the TV and i pressed the button on the original tv remote a few times in a row (I did it under the blanket honestly).- Press OK on the new remote after the red LED blinks on the new remote telling you it understood the button.- Then I repeated these steps for each of the other buttons.... I did these one at a time because I found doing them all at once was not actually programming them all at the same time for me.Keep in mind, the reason I think it works best in a darker room is because IR is just infrared light, it blinks the LED on the front of the remote in a pattern (like Morse code) that the TV can understand but the light is not visible to the human eye. So if the room is too bright or the tv screen is causing flickering light in the room it might be interfering with the programming sequence. You can see this happening if you point your phones camera at the front of the remote, you will actually see the light blinking.Hopefully this helps someone else trying to get them programmed for older IR tv's that may be having a hard time getting it to learn the buttons. Since it learns this way, it should be able to handle just about any IR device you want. :)

It’s a bummer that Apple doesn’t let AppleTV owners pair previously model remotes with the device, but I also realize there’s probably some technical reason why we can’t that I’m not aware of. At any rate, such is life with the AppleTV and after trying out a few different after-market remotes, this is definitely the one I like best.It’s easy to set up and get working with the AppleTV, and it’s only a little bigger than the AppleTV’s native remote. The biggest drawback to this remote is that it doesn’t have volume controls, and it’s not clear to me why that is. After all, this is an IR remote, and I can “train” other IR remotes to control the AppleTV volume, so why doesn’t this one have a couple more buttons for volume Up/Down that we can train to control the volume like other IR remotes?But otherwise, this remote works well and is reasonably priced.

I was looking for a product that would control by TV (power/volume) and also the appletv so that the wife would not need different remotes. This is a great option. It was simple to set up and find the proper tv codes for power & volume. Likewise the appletv functions just worked. Actually like it better than the touchpad on original remote.

I bought this because I can't get the AppleTV remote to scroll properly when watching a program. This remote has a wheel that when I 'press' it, it advances forward or back a few seconds for easy control. Only dislike I had is that it takes batteries and not rechargeable. It would also perform functions on my Mac while watching TV but that was an easy fix of putting black tape over the Mac's bluetooth sensor.

This remote paired and controlled my Apple TV, but not Apple volume or TV power.

I somehow managed to accidentally throw out my original Apple TV changer months ago. They’re priced so high, I refused to get another one so have just been trying to use my phone, but that’s a nightmare because it the connectivity randomly goes in and out. My parents also can’t figure it out when they come to visit, so it leads to constant arguments.I finally decided to bite the bullet and was going to order the Apple version when I stumbled upon this option. It seemed iffy, but I decided to try it because of the price difference.It worked perfectly! Right off the bat! I still can’t believe it. I also - very easily - managed to get it to connect to my TV. For the first time in a long time, I have one changer for two needs. It’s absolutely worth it.

Bought a remote for guest bedroom TV. Never used much. Had it for about 4 moths and then it didn’t work. Tried to send back but they said no. Very poor quality.
