Thanks for the links to the help - all of which I have already read.
It seems that all Apple TVs access in the background some Apple server for updates. So why cant Circle simple ignore those background updates for the usual Apple IP server addressess? The custom filters dont allow wildcard settings so this isnt possible for users to do themselves.
I will resort to using OffTime to block the Apple TV access to internet and hopefully reduce the recorded usage - not a solution but might just reduce the error

For today, the Apple TV access time has reached 10 hours 45m and it's only 11am! I havent even switched on the TV and it's still in sleep mode without any app running and in the front Menu screen where all the apps show.
Looking under usage, all the activity is under Uncatagorised and that shows 5 IP addressess all starting with 17.188.x.x
But under History, the latest visited site was last night just before midnight. So how is it that there is a total time count for today if nothing was visited so far today?
Apart from disconnecting power to the Apple TV, how can I control the data access time for this device? Do wild card filters work like 17.188.*.*?
Thanks for any assistance
