In addition to the App Store itself, the 4th generation Apple TV It has another outstanding novelty: the Siri Remote The new command for Apple's set-top box is small, quite small and very thin. You have to be careful with him because it is not difficult to lose him by the cushions of the sofa or, if we have more bad luck, we can fall to the floor and the tactile surface can break. And what do we do if we can't use the Siri Remote? Well, we can do something before losing it, like insurance, which is setting up a old remote for use with Apple TV 4 If you lose your original remote. In Apple TV 3 we could use the Remote application to control it, but that is not possible in the fourth generation.

To record a button we will press it when it is your turn until the progress bar is completely filled. Once the first key recording process is finished, we can record the playback keys if we wish.<img alt=

<p>And that's it. Undoubtedly, if you have not had an Apple TV of an earlier model, as is my case, it is worth taking precautions and recording an alternative control "just in case the flies."
