Pairing S7 with Apple TV?

[Rip]

If you have successfully paired Apple TV with the S7, could you share the steps you took to do so?
These are the steps I take and the result I get on the S7 is "Unable to pair with Apple TV. Make sure Apple TV is ready to pair".

I open bluetooth in menu on Apple TV
I open bluetooth on S7 and I see Apple TV in the Available devices list.
I select Apple TV on the available devices list
I get "Bluetooth pairing request" Confirm passkey is ###### to pair with Apple TV
I get "Unable to pair with Apple TV. Make sure Apple TV is ready to pair.

What am I missing?

re:

It likely will not work as pairing for the ATV is mostly for wireless keyboards and remotes. It's the same reason that you can not pair a iPhone with a Mac other then for tethering.

What were you hoping to accomplish?

Re:

My goal is to watch content from my S7 on my tv and I thought I could use my existing ATV to accomplish this. What would you suggest as a viable option for me?
Thank you,

Won't work. You would need an iPhone or an iPad to do that.
