Q: Disable Bluetooth for appleTV4

Hi,

Is it possible to disable bluetooth in my apple tv?

The reason is following problem: Some of my near neighbors use an Iphone which instantly trys to connect to my tv. In this case a page comes up with a number for pairing and interrupt the running program.

That is so annoying. No, it is not my phone, I disabled bluetooth everywhere. It is somebody in the near.

Is there any way to interrupt this?

Thanks.

No, as it's required for the remote. Bluetooth has a limited range and the iPhone connects over AirPlay, more likely it is someone coming onto your network.

No, the network is closed and safe. But you are right, I mean AirPlay. Is AirPlay bluetooth or what kind of connection is this. How can I control, who might connect and who not?

No, AirPlay is over wifi. So it's either someone coming onto the network or from within your environment. You can set a passcode within settings.

Use Conference Room Display mode and related settings on your Apple TV - Apple Support
