How do I turn Pandora off, not pause, on my TV?

Hi @DP2011-kk! Thanks for posting.

While there isn't an On/Off button on your TV to turn off Pandora, you should be able to quit the Pandora app on your device by pausing the music and returning to home by using the home button on your remote.

Alternatively, you can log out of Pandora on your device, however, you'll need to log back in if you'd like to listen to Pandora again.

Thanks for being part of community!

So I guess the only way for it to not continue to use data, is to log out.

Thank you

Hi @deanerino

Thanks for bringing this up! It’s a great question, and you’re definitely not the only one who’s noticed the absence of a Stop button.

Many streaming services have moved away from a dedicated stop button and instead rely on pause to serve that function. The idea is to make it easier to pick right back up where you left off, rather than resetting your listening session. This also helps keep the interface simpler and makes better use of limited screen space (depending on device), while still providing the same core control.

That said, I completely understand the appeal of having a more definitive “Stop” option, especially if you prefer a clean break when you’re done listening. In the meantime, closing the app will fully end playback if that’s what you’re looking for.

We really love hearing from our listeners and sharing your listening perspective. Feedback like this helps highlight where expectations and habits might differ, and it’s valuable for improving the overall listening experience
