Don’t want to dismiss your complaint, but I find mine generally is not even that noticeable considering the main function of the Apple TV is playing media on my tv that lights up the whole room. What annoys you about it?

It's a white light sitting below my tv constantly shining a light at my face. What is the point of it? I already know the thing is powered on because I powered it on and it's playing a movie or whatever. Facing it backwards helps but then all the wires are exposed and look ugly.

Anyway, it wasn't really a strong complaint, but parent poster said Apple generally doesn't do it, but I have it on at least two generations of apple tv.

As someone with a fair bit of astigmatism... a visble white dot maybe 6 inches from the edge of the TV is just about worst case for making any sort of dark scene look blurry.
