DUBSY Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Does the power button on your ROKU remote actually turn the device off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul45 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I don't know if we have the Ultra, but I paired the remote with my TV, so the power button turns on tv and adjusts volume level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBKEITH Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I have an Ultra. I think the only way to turn it off is to unplug it. If you hit the power button on the remote it will eventually go to sleep if there is nothing streaming, but I don’t think it’s actually powered down. I always back out of any apps and return to the home screen before hitting the remote power button, otherwise you’ll continue to stream and chew up data even if your TV is off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlk18 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I don't believe my Roku's turn off, but they do go to sleep. Like pretty much every other computer, tablet, phone and other device in my home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minderasr Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 If you're using a remote, the unit never really turns off. This applies to any device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine isn't the Ultra though. I like it but if I get another one it will have an Ethernet port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a screen saver as well, and an ethernet port is a must have for me. I wire everything I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the next one will have an ethernet port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
