Apple TV Troubleshooting

If the Add Server button doesn't work after entering the address via remote, try using an iPhone to type instead.

  • Trigger the switch-up by unlocking the iPhone while you're doing the step above. Your phone will ask, "Hey, wanna type on me instead of the dumb remote?" Do that!

  • Press Enter on the iPhone keyboard after entering the address. The "Add Server" button should work now.
