Woahhh we had the exact same issue with the new Apple TV. First I think my tv was dying. 🤣

I can't remember if I fixed this or not. I think I might have removed the IR integration config in the remote settings. The same remote works just fine today, seven years later; albeit on a newer TV.

Hi, I have similar problem. After 9 days with no issue the remote suddenly sends IR volume up signal non stop by itself. Very annoying.

I have the same problem, did you solve it.

Hi, did you fix this?... Mine just don't work.

I haven't seen anyone post a solution here so I'm gonna leave suggestions for troubleshooting your Apple TV & Remote. Step 1: Try repairing your remote by simply holding the "Menu" and "Volume Up (+)" Button for three seconds. Let go and wait 3 seconds then tap the Menu button. This should re-pair your remote and you should have a working remote again. Step 2: Restart your Apple TV. Simply hold down the "Menu" and "TV" Buttons at the same time for 10 seconds. Let got and wait 10 seconds, your Apple TV will reboot. You will see the Apple logo, then your dashboard/home screen. Everything should work. Step 3: Unplug your Apple TV for 30 seconds. Come back Plug it back in and everything should be working as normal. If you are going through these steps more than once a week take video of the issue happening, then take your device to the Apple Store, they will help you!
