Yeah as Jonathan said the old Apple tv remotes still work in most cases As for siri, Don’t have it and don’t care.

There is also a “remote” app for the iPhone that should work if you prefer. I found that I would get lost in the swipe area, the last time I tried the remote App, but it has been updated since then and there were ways around that. The older Apple remotes do work to some extent with the AppleTV though of course the dictation / voice command functions do not work.

I've been using a Fire Tv Cube since then and its getting annoying. Half the time I don't even know which app I'm opening on it. So, I'm thinking about bringing out the apple tv again but want to get a different remote for it. Does anyone on the list have experience with alternate apple tv remotes? Which ones do you guys recommend? thanks Jeff -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
