Easy to add the new remote!
Bought a replacement for a remote that the Great Dane decided was a chew toy. It's super easy to add the new remote to an existing Fire TV box (or stick). Just turn on the Fire TV (Home screen) and hold the home button down on the new remote! You will see a notification on the screen that the new remote is now paired wit the fire tv. DONE!
I was worried as the instructions tell you to navigate to the settings menu on the fire tv. How the heck do you do that without a working remote?! You don't have to, just hold the home button down until you get the notification it is paired.
I just wish the remotes didn't cost nearly as much as a new box did. They are too expensive!
