Low EMF Replacement Remote!!!
One of the issues in remediating RF from the Apple TV is not only do you need to shield the box itself, but the remote also has fairly strong RF signal – even when not in use. You don’t want to sleep with it right next to you. The good thing is the newest Apple TV still leverages IR remote control. You can use pretty much ANY IR remote – but this one has the look and feel of the original. You do lose voice control and the touch sensitive pad – but I’ve always found the touch pad to be more of an annoyance. And for security reasons, I’m not wild about sending my voice into the cloud for data collection so that wasn’t a huge loss either. This remote for us was the perfect low EMF replacement. The guide that comes with it has an error though. When programming the TV controls, the manual says to hold the button on the original remote until the new remote flashes and then push the button you want programmed on the new remote. That wasn’t working. Instead press and hold the button on the original remote until the new remote starts flashing. Then release the button on the original remote and press the button on the new remote you want programmed. Then it will work. No need to teach it if the TV controls work right out of the box. It’s a bit over-priced in my opinion but if you want a remote that looks and works like the original and less EMF, this fits the bill.
