When I walk into the room, I sometimes notice the little light on my Apple TV is on. I have to turn on my TV, go into the Apple menu, and put it into sleep mode. Then the light goes off. A couple of days later (without the Apple TV being used), the light will be on again. What gives?
So is the unit actually on or is it just the light? This usually indicated that it's picking up network activity
I've noticed my Apple TV does that as well. It's on a UPS. After the last update I haven't seen it turn itself on.
It's probably just "checking in" or something, updating the time, checking for updates, maybe getting a new IP address from the router, could be lots of things... I wouldn't worry about it. It will go back to sleep on its own.
No, it doesn't go to sleep -- the light will be on for days unless I put it to sleep manually.
Why does Apple Tv turn itself on?
