Siri remote

Apple continues to update its products, big and small. The Siri Remote for Apple TV (2nd gen) is no different. Even a remote control can be wirelessly updated with new firmware when it becomes available. While Apple does not list features or bug fixes included in these under-the-radar updates, the remote automatically installs its own firmware when certain conditions are met.

Rebooting the Apple TV normally takes a few clicks through the tvOS menu system under Settings. Flipping though on-screen menus takes time, and if an Apple TV is unresponsive it may not work. For a faster solution, there's a quick and easy way to restart the Apple TV without even looking at the screen.
