On Apple TV (3rd generation), you will need a functional remote to help set up the software remote.

If you can’t find someone to borrow it from temporarily, then you may want to buy a replacement remote.

A new Apple Remote (aluminum) will have to be linked to the box.

Alternatively you can restore the Apple TV and connect a wireless keyboard to help set up the software remote;

or you can restore the Apple TV and connect the CiderTV Mac app to help set up the app.
