Q: I run my apple tv on a mobile hotspot network with limited data.  How can I keep the apple tv from automatically updating.

I travel fulltime and use a mobile hotspot for my internet access.  I use my apple TV mainly to be able to stream movies to my TV.  Since the 6.0 update I can no longer controll when I update the Apple TV.  This is more than an inconvenience since the auto update has caused data usage overrun and higher phone bills.  At $10/gbite this not a cost efective for a minor update.  Is there a way to turn off the auto update feature of the Aple TV?
