    What Tivoburkee said is correct. However, there is one thing I want to ensure.

The volume and power commands on the streambar remote are roku hdmi-cec commands. The commands are picked up be the streambar via wifi, and then it sends cec signal over the hdmi cable to control whatever tv its connected to. If your Sharp can't accept cec commands when off, its not the streambars fault, its the tv's. Try refreshing the cec devices in the menu of the tv? Make sure the cec feature is turned on?
