Control Your Apple TV

   With only four buttons, the Apple Remote included with your Apple TV is
   quite possibly the most elegant remote control ever made. However, that
   simplicity hides some useful features. This chapter will teach you how
   to master the Apple Remote's basic features and shortcuts.

   But you're not limited to the Apple Remote; the Apple TV can be
   commanded by a third-party remote, an iOS device with Apple's Remote
   app or, as we saw in Chapter 2, [4]Set Up Your Apple TV, a Bluetooth
   keyboard. Each option offers considerably more power than the Apple
   Remote, and each has its own particular strengths (and weaknesses).

Choose Your Weapon

   You have several choices in how you control your Apple TV. Here are the
   pros and cons of each.
