Product:Apple TV Product Version:latest
Classification:Other Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
The 4th generation of that device isn't able to get paired with a Bluetooth keyboard. For text input the remote as the only input device is really a big bag of hurt. Maybe you just *forgot* to re-enable the appropriate code parts after commenting out for debug reasons. I'll forgive you... 

Steps to Reproduce:
- Power on tv
- navigate to settings, bluetooth section
- try to pair an Apple BT keyboard

Expected Results:
The tv will get paired with that keyboard, so I can use it in every installed app - when it's needed.

Actual Results:
Nothing happens. tv won't pair with the keyboard.

Notes:
My old 3rd generation tv can do that! And I love it soo much to use a keyboard while searching movies, YouTube or what else. For me there is no reason to got rid of this expected functionality.
