Apple TV Siri/Microphone

[CaliMed]

Can someone help me understand how to get the microphone to bring up Siri. Tried looking on the setup guides and old forum posts. For some odd reason it woks with one of my Apple TV’s and not another. I tried deleting the device (Apple TV) and reinstalling with no luck.
