Hi, You may be talking about a couple of different things here:
It is possible to start content playing on the Apple TV from your iPhone using airPlay - E.G. you can find a song in your iTunes library or on your network via your iPhone and then stream it to the TV without interacting with the TV at all. It is also possible to control the Apple TV using an iPhone instead of the remote; this is the root that I took for the first couple of days when I got my Apple TV because the remote is fairly small and could quite easily get lost. However, for me, it is *much* easier to control it using the physical remote, instead of the "remote" app. Cheers, Ben.
