Fire tv remote?

[sask3m]

Hi, I've read that the fire tv remote can be paired to work with the shield but if one does so will it still work with the fire tv? Thanks.

Hi yes it does work. Just go to Bluetooth settings and when it asks you to put it in pairing mode hold down the home button on the fire TV remote.
Yes it will still work with the fire TV/stick but if the fire device is in sleep mode on the second TV then it'll wake.
Sometimes it may need to be re-paired with each device after you use it with the other device

I tried doing that today and had no luck. I heard that firmware updates to the fire TV blocked the remote from connecting to 3rd party devices
