Does turning off the TV turn off Apple TV and stop the streaming?

Do I need to exit the app to ensure one of my tuners is not being used when I turn off the TV connected to the Apple TV? In other words, does turning off the TV automatically “turn off” ATV?

Putting the ATV to “sleep” will stop the streaming.

You should be sure to just stop playing any video. That will release the tuner. Apps don’t get any event data when the TV is turned off so we can’t automatically stop the stream.

Sorry to revive an old thread... by doing this will it prevent recording of shows? I am a newbie.

No. The AppleTV is a client, and the DVR and recording happens on the device that you installed it on. Turning off your clients will not affect the tasks on the DVR (unless the client and the server are the same device).
