This can already be done with your iPhone or iPad, just download the remote app and you are off the the races. Most people who buy Apple TV already has an iOS device.

Anybody realizing how old this concept is? Apple uses exactly this for years now with all iPhones, iPads and iPod touch using the free remote app. Come on, is there _any_ own creativity in this "new" concept???

here's my suggestion with the trackpad, whatever shows up on Apple TV shows up on the remote, and taping anywhere on it will automatically have the box (the selection that highlights the channel) guess what channel/key tapped. Let's say I wanted to use the keyboard and I tap on the top left area of the remote, on the tv it responds with the letter a because with the entire keyboard on the square area of the remote, I can type it in like a old school phone. I understand this concept of mine is a bit hard to understand but I can show you a visual of what I mean. You'll think it is actually new.

If you install plexconnect on a server, and then download the PLEX app, you will get all of that + real videos in the boxes. Not too sure what this is about. I'm using PLEX on an iPhone 6+, and running plex server on a mac mini, and using apple TV3s for a complete home entertainment system. works great, and the phone is a very nice remote in that regard.

It would take a bluetooth or wifi remote to achieve this.

If Apple makes this, I am buying this when released. This can support games and the remote can have a motion coprocessor for balancing/racing/aiming games even if it means more buttons like consoles #Apple

But if you download the remote app for free it literally has all of these features and you can actually use your iOS keyboard to type.

This needs to be done. No reason not to be like this.

Now this would make a huge leap except the home button replacement makes it look less functional because it doesn't look like you can select back, but it's still perfect.

Now that's better control, definitely making games play better than roku and use it quicker.
