Best answer: Yes, the new Siri Remote will be backwards compatible with older models of the Apple TV 4K (2017) and even the Apple TV HD. It can be purchased separately starting on April 30, so you do not need to buy a new Apple TV 4K just to get the updated Siri Remote.
You can pair the Siri Remote with only one Apple TV at a time. When you pair a remote, any other paired remote is automatically unpaired.
