I just bought an Apple TV last week and I cannot for the life of me pair my ultimate controller. When I put it into pairing mode, it shows up in the Bluetooth "other devices" area, however, after clicking that, I see a separate device immediately pop up (presumably the controller's code name) and within a few seconds receive the following error: "Make sure 'Pro Controller' is turned on and in range." Now, this is not one of the controllers with the D button on the back, it just has Bluetooth and 2.4g, but it is on the most recent firmware update, so everything ought to be up to speed. I have it switched to Bluetooth for this, of course, but I seem to be the only person on the planet struggling to get this controller to connect because I continue to find zero resources for troubleshooting this with Apple TV!
 
On MAC OS you had to turn bluetooth off then on or it would not work.
This controller has had support added on TVOS 16.3 according to this article
