A feature like this could have serious consequences, by increasing the average power usage of the TV. For example, it might cause it to fail Energy Star certification, which would be a non-starter.

I'd be more than happy for the default behavior for the TV have this be off, and make it a user selectable option. It basically renders the "roku-ness" of the TV all but useless in a control system environment, as there's no discrete IR codes for each input. If it was always live on the network, I'd accept a power increase in response to making the TV always able to be controlled. Without being able to turn it on over IP, the IP control doesn't get me anything.
