I updated to tvos 9.2 but the remote never updates to new firmware 245. hey i tried that. when i go to bluetooth devices the apple tv remote never appears here. more less. mar 25, 2016 4:40 pm question: q: apple tv4 remote firmware update more less. apple footer.. Last fall, apple launched apple tv 4 with a new operating system tvos, which comes with siri remote controller is also a major highlight, you may learn how to update apple tv 4 firmware, then you must not know how to upgrade the siri remote firmware.. The installation of a siri remote firmware update is either automatically performed while both the apple tv 4 and the siri remote are idle, or can be manually done. coming along with the apple tv 4 tvos 9.2 update, a siri remote firmware update was also released adding compatibility with samsung sound bars and improving general performance..
The apple tv remote had seen no hardware update for an extended period of time, and apple broke away from its longstanding tradition and brought something new to the table in the form of siri. Firmware version of remote is separately given in apple tv settings. on checking about firmware verison , in few blogs it was given that latest firmware is 245. so was checking with apple support.. The app can replace previous remote app that lacked support for some of the new features on the fourth-gen apple tv, although it’s missing a few features in the initial version..
