Apparently, the Apple TV runs inordinately hot, reaching 44° C (111° F). There is no off switch for the device and the only only way to power down is to unplug it.

I see that as a big, wasteful, and potentially hazardous flaw.

(The Roku Netflix Player doesn’t have an power switch either but it doesn’t run hot.)
