Have you ever wondered what it means for that little light in the front of your Apple TV to be blinking and changing colors? Below is a list of actions that your light might be indicating.

1. If the Status light is solid white, your Apple TV is on.

2. If the Status light is off, your Apple TV is off or in Standby Mode

3. If the Status light is blinking Amber, your Apple TV is starting up

4. If the Status light flashes white once, your Apple TV is accepting a command from the remote

5. If the Status light flashes amber once, your Apple TV is rejecting a command from the remote (you’ve paired a remote with Apple TV but you’re using a remote that’s not paired).

6. If the Status light alternates between white and amber, your Apple TV is having issues, refer to this Service FAQ
