It's hard to believe that after all of this time, Roku STILL hasn't added this simple feature. Yes, the functionality is already built into most TVs, but when the TV turns off the Roku keeps streaming. For those of us trying to manage our data usage, this is a problem. I noticed that a recent update has added a power button to the Roku main menu, which can turn off the connected TV. This is a step in the right direction. Can we please have a configurable sleep timer added? The fact that this post has over 2000 views in comparison to most other feature requests should be a strong indicator of how many people want this functionality. We would greatly appreciate this addition.

In summary:
I will continue to hope that Roku adds a sleep timer to it's products. I won't wait around for them to do so.
