AirPod Pro and Apple TV question

[Gator5000e]

I have a little bit of a problem. I have a pair of AirPod pros and two Apple TV 4K boxes. Every 20 or 30 minutes, it seems, that little message pops up that says the AirPod pros are available and ready to connect to the Apple TVs. Or whatever that message says. I do not want to connect my AirPods to the Apple TVs. But if I go into the Apple TV settings to forget the AirPods, a message says that if I forget the AirPods on the ATV, they will be deleted from any device using my Apple ID. That includes my iPhone and my iPads. Huh?

So my question is does anybody know to keep the AirPods from connecting to the Apple TV without having to remove them from my iPhone and AirPods?

Thanks in advance.

Did you turn off the detect setting on the ATV?
