Don't bother reading the negative reviews - if you need a replacement for Apple TV this is it.
I typically read negative reviews before I decide which product to pick, and was pretty skeptical about replacing a remote for an older Apple TV ... mine's so old I didn't know if it was a 1st or 2nd generation. This arrived within 2 days, we took it out of the package (which proved to be the hardest part of the whole replacement process), pointed it at the TV, and it works like a charm. No pairing, no problems, no issues. I think the people who write the bad reviews don't realize their problems may run a bit deeper than the remote. So if you have an older generation Apple TV, this is your simplest choice for a replacement. As a side note, I am taking the advice of the reviewer who said they were putting this inside a snack sized sandwich bag to protect it! Awesome idea.
