So my friend, who has a shield and got me into this, told me his shield works with an ir remote for individual number buttons. I don’t think the appletv does. Is it only the shield or will atv or firetv do it too?
I believe that the 2015 Shields had IR the newer ones do not.
Logitech Harmony IR Remotes are supported by NVIDIA SHIELD (2015) and NVIDIA SHIELD Pro (2017). The NVIDIA SHIELD (2017) with 16GB storage does not have an IR receiver.
I just use a FLIRC
