LG magic remote not working since latest Apple TV update

Ever since the latest Apple TV update came out my LG Magic remotes cannot control the Apple TV, I got them to work for a couple of days but they have gone back out and I cannot get them to work with the Apple TV. Is this a known issue or is there a fix?

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 17

Many people having this issue across a wide variety of TV Brands. Looks to be a tvOS 17.4 bug. Probably just have to wait for Apple to fix.


One person claimed to resolve it by resetting the Apple TV to defaults, but I am not willing to try that right now.

Same issue for me. My LG remote operates the ATV with the exception of the powering on/off. This same setup has worked for years until recently.


Both the TV and ATV (17.5.1) are running latest version. I've tried restarting ATV, reconfiguring ATV (i.e., OTT) on the TV with no luck. I'm in agreement that it must be a bug. Hopefully this will get fixed soon.
