The skinny, slippery, round cornered, black AppleTV remote seems to be designed to be as easily lost as possible. Weeks often go by without finding it, during which we use other streaming devices instead.
The Amazon FireTV remote is quite easy to lose, but I stocked up on spares when it was on sale for $15.
The TiVo remote is not only too big to lose, it has a remote-finder feature where you can induce it to play a tune. Genius.
- social_quotient 6y agoHeads up, I got these for my Apple TV remotes and haven’t lost one since. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LXI592F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fab_AU6DFbMWD95V8 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LXI592F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fab_...
- Gaelan 6y agoIf you have an iPhone, it can function as an Apple TV remote.
- microcolonel 6y agoThey don't even have an Android app? wtf.
- mewse 6y agoThere are dozens of apps on Android which can act as a remote for an AppleTV. You can also use any bog standard universal remote control, if you have an old one of those kicking around somewhere. (I use a cheap old Logitech Harmony remote, for example)
- jannes 6y agoYou can even use your TV’s remote. It should forward the button commands via HDMI. (Try left, right, up, down, etc)
- dannyw 6y agoPhysical buttons > touchscreens when you don’t need a screen.
- qwertox 6y agoCannot up vote this enough.
- w0mbat 6y agoIf you do that, you will immediately lose your iPhone, as the curse is transferable.
