I have a Apple TV 3rd generation and I know that I can navigate to Settings etc to turn it off. While this works, it's kind of cumbersome. Are there easier ways to turn an Apple TV off?

If you mean sleep. Which effectively is turning it off.

On 3rd Gen.

Hold down the Play/Pause button for 5 seconds. The Apple TV will go to sleep.

On the 4th Gen.

Hold down the the Home button for a couple of seconds, Looks like a TV.

You will then get a option dialogue to Sleep or cancel.

  • On 3rd Gen, holding down the Play/Pause button for 5 seconds will not turn off Apple TV unless you are at the Home screen. I hate that steps are required to power off a device. So annoying...
