This remote works even though my Apple TV is mounted behind my TV!!!!  I am not sure why.  It works just fine.  They must have some sort of IR blaster.  There is not even any delay.  I bought this remote not realizing that it was IR only.  I realized it only after I had ordered it.  I thought I would have to move my streamer from behind the TV, but I thought I would give it a try anyway.  It works just fine.  So I disagree with the comments that say that this cannot be done.  I don't guarantee it will work for everyone, but it does work just fine for me.  The IR must reflect behind the TV somehow.  I would not discount this remote, if you were longing for a button remote and you want your Apple TV mounted to the back.

I have had a G logo on my phone when I bought a top of the line Google phone (Pixel 2 XL).  I would much rather have an Apple logo now.  So, if you ask me, Apple easily wins in brand value.  I spent top dollar and got junk with Google.  I know that anything bearing an Apple logo is always the highest quality.  ... Why I will be switching to Apple.
