Enter your login credentials as needed, then you’ll see: Give it a second and the Remote app will see your wifi network (you need a wifi network and that’s what the AppleTV needs to be using too, in case I didn’t mention it earlier).

On your iPhone, tap on the Remote app to get it started: It’ll say “To get started, turn on Home Sharing in Remote App”. Now the next step is to go to Settings -> General -> Remotes on the Apple TV and choose “Remote App”. Still, let me show you how to pair your iPhone 4 with your Apple TV and then you can try it out and see if you like it better than the little silver gadget, which is, I admit, yet another thing to lose in the sofa cushions!įirst step is to download the Remote app from the App Store and install it on your iPhone.


I have to warn you that I find it’s a bit flakey, however, whereas the little remote control device included with the Apple TV works 100% of the time, sees every single button push, etc. I also have a new Apple TV (aka “ATV2”) and the Remote app from the App Store does indeed let you control the device from either your iPhone, IPod Touch or even an iPad, if you have one in the house.
