Shutting off Apple TV after software update

I just updated the software on my 2nd generation Apple TV to 5.1 (5201) and can no longer shut off the Apple TV using my remote like I could in the past. Any ideas? Thanks.

AppleTV 2, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

I did notice "Sleep Now" in the menu, annoying that you have to do that though.

Thanks for the tip, Tones. I called Apple just now and they apparently changed the button used to power it off from the big "Select": one to the "Pause/Play" one. Who knew?

NM John, not me! I only purchased my ATV on the weekend, and had no idea (thanks for not putting it in the instructions Apple) that you could use a button.

Glad to help out.
