Just got the new Apple TV and love it. However, I often switch between inputs to use the cable box/DVR and Apple TV. So when I power down Apple TV, I don't always want it to turn my TV off. How can I disable this?
Look under Settings, Remotes and Device for settings to turn it off.
Look under Settings, Remotes and Device for settings to turn it off.
I only see a setting to toggle whether or not you can use the remote to turn the TV on.
I see nothing relating to keeping the TV on after turning off (i.e. sleeping the ATV4).
DId you turn that feature off and see what happens?
Well, uh, no, I did not, as it did not reference what we were talking about, the fact that it works notwithstanding.
So now I want to be able to turn my TV on when I start/wake my ATv4!
While I fully understand your very reasonable needs, consider the following:
Scenario 1 : Finish using ATV but want to switch to cable - need ATV to sleep but not turn off TV.
Scenario 2 : Finish using ATV and am done with TV - need ATV to sleep and turn off TV.
The only way to correctly respond to both these 2 is to be able to read one's thoughts and deterimine the intent. This is not technically possible.
Or Apple could have two settings:
1) Turn TV on when ATV is woken/powered on? Yes/No
2) Turn TV off when ATV sleeps/powers off? Yes/No
If the above were so, I would opt Yes for #1 and No for #2, for defaults. I would be willing to deal with the effects when I might want different, just as I do in all sorts of instances in technology and life when the default does not meet a particular need once in a while.
hmm the link settings on your tv maybe the answer. check those settings
