If it left Displayte
On the TV’s list of presentations, Back on the remote (Menu on older remotes) goes to the Apple TV’s Home Screen, as it does in any Apple TV app. To come back, choose Displayte there. It opens straight into its presentations again, with nothing to sign in to.
Lock it to Displayte
For a TV that children can reach, Apple’s Single App Mode keeps the Apple TV in one app: no other app can be opened, and the app opens again by itself after a restart.
It needs a Mac with Apple’s free Apple Configurator app, and the Apple TV has to be supervised. Supervision is set up when an Apple TV is new or has been erased, so a TV you already use is erased first. Apple’s guide: Set Single App Mode in Apple Configurator.
An erased Apple TV is paired again like a new one: install Displayte on it, then add it on Displays. See Add a TV.
Turn on with the TV
On the Apple TV, go to Settings, then Remotes and Devices. Under Home Theater Control, turn on Turn On Your TV with Your Remote (or Control TVs and Receivers, if there’s a receiver). Then the Apple TV turns on when the TV turns on or switches to its input, and off when the TV turns off.
If it doesn’t, turn on HDMI-CEC in the TV’s own settings. Its name often ends in Link or Sync, like Samsung’s Anynet+, LG’s SimpLink or Sony’s BRAVIA Sync. Apple’s guide: Use the Apple TV remote to control your TV.
