Turn off Apple TV: How it works

With the Apple TV, you have the ability to access streaming services on your TV. If you are no longer using the Apple TV, then it is a good idea to turn off the device during this time. Depending on which model of the device you own, you have different options available.

You can activate Apple TV's sleep mode in various ways.

Turn off Apple TV: These options are available

Apple TV is, along with Amazon Fire TV, the best-known hardware helper to make TVs Internet-enabled. In addition, it is also fully compatible with other Apple devices. So you can stream the content from your smartphone or iPad directly on the TV. If you don't need the Apple TV, you can turn it off to save power and preserve the device. When looking at the device, it is noticeable that there is no on/off button. Nevertheless, the Apple TV can rest in several ways:

• If the device is not used for a long time, it automatically goes into sleep mode. You can set this time yourself. Call the "Settings", then "General" and "Activate hibernation after".
• You can also start the hibernation manually. Press and hold the screen button on the remote control for about five seconds, then activate hibernation.
• Alternatively, you can also activate hibernation in the "Settings".
• Alternatively, to turn off the device completely, disconnect the power. This also allows you to turn off the device.
• If you have an Apple TV with a remote control, you can also turn off the device via it.

The hibernation mode is basically the same as turning off the device and therefore completely sufficient to save the hardware.
