How to Turn off Bluetooth on Apple TV?

Apple team, How can I turn off the Bluetooth of my recently bought Apple TV?

If I control the box via my iPhone controller - connected only via Wi-Fi, does the TV-Box Bluetooth go to sleep?


Is there, or could it be a very soon release to have updated controllers to shut down the device Bluetooth?


My family and I are very much the same as the post from "LollyDitt"


I purchase the box to mirror my iPhone screen and share images and videos with my family, since the cable HDMI adapter video flickers and is bound to a limited distance... but now I would have rather purchase one of the latest Samsung TVs that allow apple compatibility and better Bluetooth (on/off) settings control.


If this is not currently an option, could a Bluetooth setting control be implemented? or should I resell this box via ebay?


Your help and advice are very much appreciated.

No, you can't turn BT off. No, it's not harmful.
