Hi,
I lost my Apple TV remote and want to use the one available on my iPhone in Control Center, but I am unable to pair it. When I try, I need to type the 4-digit code (that pops up on the iPhone screen) on the Apple TV itself, but I obviously can’t do that without a remote... Any tips on how to solve this?
Thanks!

On 3rd gen or older Apple TV you will need a physical remote to pair as it requires navigating the Apple TV to enter the code. The remote would also be required if the Apple TV needs to be setup on a network, regardless of model. If you are unable to borrow one then a replacement can be purchased from Apple.
