Removing Autorun on all Apple TV devices.

To see the cast and credits in full on all broadcasts. Research via Google repeatedly states bring up the Sidebar on Apple TV and switch off autorun in Settings. On my 3 Apple boxes (Gen 3, HD, 4X) there is no Settings option in the sidebar. Does anyone know how to stop this frustrating trick of cutting into the cast and flying up to a mini screen. Pressing Menu reverses it but if you then wind back it disappears again! And WE decide what to watch next, NOT the broadcaster !!! Help please.

The side bar Settings refer to the Apple TV app on third party devices, not the Apple TV box.

Turning off Auto-Play will prevent starting the next episode automatically, but it will not prevent “cutting into the cast and flying up to a mini screen.” That will happen regardless. You can bring up the end credits full screen again, by navigating up or right (I forget which), then selecting the mini screen.
