Better control of my AppleTV

I use this to control my AppleTV, having long ago lost the original AppleTV remote. My iPhone can’t always wake the AppleTV up, which then in the past I’d have to go unplug/plug it back in it to make it wake up again. With 1Keyboard, I have an alternate source to wake it up from my lap and generally 1Keyboard is better at this than the iPhone has been.

Also handy for when I’m half browsing/half watching TV and I can just pause whatever I’m watching straight from the computer in case I get engrossed in the computer.

Finally, f I’m going to search for a title (in Netflix/Hulu, etc), I instinctively reach for the 1Keyboard/Mac combo to control the TV so I can just type naturally.

Oh, one more tiny thing- I find it a bit easier to rewind from 1Keyboard using the left arrow key than on my iPhone swipe gestures.

One note- for a week or so I couldn’t make it connect to the AppleTV at all and I just eventually re-established the Bluetooth link between them and it fixed it.
