I've lost my apple TV remote. Will this replace it and work straight away?

YES this remote will work with all Apple TV models. You do NOT need the new Siri remote for the new Apple TV (HD or 4K). I prefer this remote to the Siri remote when using an Apple TV 4K (I do not like the touch-pad built into the Siri remote. I find it difficult to use) There are two limitations: Limitation 1 - this is a "line-of-sight" remote. You have to point this remote at the front of the Apple TV for it to work. (The Siri remote can be pointed anywhere...) Limitation 2- this remote does not have a "Home" button. SO - if you want to click the "home" button to pull up that special "home" button menu - this remote can't do it.
