How to put ATV to sleep other than navigating to the TV screen menu option to do that? Is there a faster way using the iPad remote? My ATV (as seen by the white light) seems to always stay on.

I assume you mean put the Apple TV to sleep without navigating to the sleep option in the menus. Yes, this can be done from the remote, however it has to be done from the main menu, hold down the select button for 2 to 3 seconds until the Apple TV goes to sleep.
Just found the secret (for 3rd generation ATV with aluminum remote). Press the menu and select buttons at the same time. ATV goes to sleep immediately. TV need not be on.

I think the solution of holding the select button for 2-3 seconds works, but only for earlier generations.

Thanks for this!
Holding down the "select" button stopped working after the last update when they introduced the ability to organize the icons.
