    AppleTV 4 unresponsive with hardware remotes

    ive tried both my Siri and older aluminium remotes but the device is generally struggling to respond to them, yet works perfectly with my phone and the app. Has anyone got any ideas short of a restore of the device (saving that as a last resort in case I can't pair the app afterwards!)

I'm thinking maybe using something like the Elgato Eve Switch connected to HomeKit, with...
